Digital Childhood Script Series
“I need a phone for school.”
What to say
Start here
"Okay, let's find out together what your school actually asked for, because I want you to have what you need and I don't want to guess."

There's more to this one.
The other 3 steps are in the app, word for word, including what to say when they push back. Eight of the scripts are free in full, and all 35 are $19 once, no subscription. Nothing to download.

Most kids don't need a phone at school at all, and a lot of schools don't even allow them. If your kid says they need one, I'd find out what the school actually asked for first, so you're not arguing about something somebody said in the group chat.
