Ah, the being 12 context makes sense.He is 12 and I am setting expectations. I can loosen things up the older he gets as long as he earns the trust. But the longer I can keep him off social media and off YouTube, the better off he will be.
I agree to the social media. My son is 12 and got his first phone two weeks ago. As you mentioned, I am basically the authoritarian figure and will dictate all aspects until older or earns trust. However I don’t think I’ll allow famous social medias: snap, insta, till tok, etc until he’s much older. That ish is pure trash.
