Awesome - and expressed with so much love!

We have one additional "rule" for now (our daughter is 14):

No participation in school class / year group WhatsApp group. You spend all day with each other, so let's take a break from that outside of school and it makes the interaction at school the 'real thing' (and takes away avenues for potential bullying). Chat to each other, call each other by all means, but keep it as a direct 1-on-1.

This is so brilliant, thank you for sharing! I will have to save this for years and years, since my daughter is only four. But this is exactly the letter she will be getting once we are in this situation.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ll be giving my fourth child her first smart phone in the next year and will be sure to use this letter. Love it!
