Just go out and play

When I was a pre-teen, I’m pretty sure the only serious decision I presented my folks with was: can I go out to play or not?
Once I hit 12 or13, all hell may have broken loose, but that’s another story.
Today, I, as a parent, have to face myriad decisions regarding choices for my pre-teen daughter. She will be nine in June, but I’m already having to decide stuff like: Can she have a cellphone? Can she have an email account? Can she at least (her words) have a Facebook account? Whatever happened to going out and playing?
