my sweet pea is 8 and just started
to email. i checked her emails last night
and i wasn't too happy about the behavior
on there. most of it was inane, but i wonder
if there's any reason for her to be on it at
all? she's only emailing her friends at school.
at what age did you let your bub email?
and if they do, do you limit access?
thanks for any advice. being a parent is
really hard.
My 8 and 10 year old both have email - school accounts, in fact. I have their passwords and regularly check the accounts.
I don't think restricting/allowing email is as big of deal as setting clear rules and expectations about how to use email and be online. We made our boys sign an agreement, detailing what we expected and what consequences would be. So far, we haven't had any problems.
