What does? The notion that kids shouldn't have phones? I guess in my circle I just hear it from baby boomers, who told my generation that TV would rot our brains, as they watch Wheel of Fortune on the highest fricking volume level. These are the people who've been left in the dust, the ones who think video games ruin social skills, because their parents locked them out of the house every day until sundown. I come from a long line of backwoods country folk.

Don't get me wrong. I totally believe in limiting electronics use (moderation, just like everything else), having constant access to their devices remotely, all of their login passwords, logs of their visited websites, etc. Otherwise, treat it just like any leisure activity. But even then, it all depends on the kid. OP's daughter is obviously responsible and well-adjusted. I hope my kids are the same when they get older, so that they can be trusted with tablets and phones or whatever the trend is in 6-8 years.
