Mostly for gaming is what they use it for. There has been one big benefit to us. We got him a phone 2 yrs agoso we could get in touch with him when we needed to. He often left it home or forgot to charge his phone. He never forgets with the iPhone. He is also so happy and appreciative for the iPhone. He knows we will pull it from him if he misuses it or does other things wrong. He has lost computer privileges several times for days or even a week. The reasons have never Ben due to his computer usage but rather his behavior. Yes it’s a slippery slope but our kids live in a very different world than we grew up in. We do the best we can, just like our parents did with us.
