Proud Parent
Just looking for some input. DD is 8, won't be 9 until late summer. She is in a group where the average age is 10/11. I am a pretty restrictive parent when it comes to media exposure. My kids don't have unlimited access to the internet, no facebook pages etc. I am sure as they enter their high school years, I will have to relent on some of this, but an 8 year old...............Anyway, some girls have phones at the gym, and during breaks they will watch music videos. She was shown the video Wrecking Ball by one of her 11 year old teammates. may be I am just dreaming, but I think I should be able to have expectations that when I send my 8 year old to the gym for gymnastics that she is not going to be exposed to basically anything on the internet. The 11 year old is a nice kid, but would I be out of line asking that no phones be out or internet browsing during snack break? The music at the gym can be inappropriate, but DD doesn't get the lyrics. A video is in your face inappropriate content. What is the rule at your gym?
