Stacey Miller+FollowWhy I chose a landline for my 8-year-oldGiving my 8-year-old a screen-free, internet-powered landline has been a total game changer for our family. He gets the independence he craved—calling friends and grandparents on his own—without the worries of social media or endless games. I love that I can control who he talks to and when, and he’s learning real-life skills like dialing numbers and managing his own calls. The best part? He’s discovering that having a phone means responsibility, not just fun. It’s sparked some hilarious family moments and even a few classic prank calls!
