She learned to read at age 3 using the very well done "Cat In The Hat" desktop program, and since then I have turned her on to everything from Gmail at age 6 to Ableton at 12.
I've decided that Snapchat is where it ends for me/us last year...she needs something to be hers and her friends alone, without "Dad" poking is old-ass nose into things.
I think she really appreciates that I haven't bugged her about connecting and sharing on that platform, and I know deep down it was time.
But boy...do I sometimes miss that 6yo angel sending me cryptic "i luvu" via Gmail.

I gave all the internet safety tips I could over the years, I don't want to know what "the other stuff" are!

Hm, I searched and found more than one. Various companies: The Learning Company. Borderbund. MacKiev.
Which did you have?

And fyi for fathers: Do not share a phone with your daughter. Do not borrow her phone, nor lend her yours. Some pictures are fine to be in her possession but if found in your possession could destroy your world.
