Savannah and her daughter, Vale. @savannahguthrie via Instagram<\/p>\nSavannah Guthrie put her legal skills to work before giving her 11-year-old daughter Vale an iCloud account. <\/p>\n
\u201cI actually drafted a contract for her to sign,\u201d the former attorney told Jenna Bush Hager on Aug. 20.<\/p>\n
While co-hosting Jenna & Friends, Savannah shared the set of rules Vale had to agree to before accessing her digital locker. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was basically like\u2026 I know that Mommy and Daddy can read my texts. I know I will not put in a text anything I wouldn\u2019t want grandma and grandpa to see,\u201d Savannah said. She added that Vale also understands not to do anything that could land her in the news for the wrong reasons! <\/p>\n
Though Savannah reserves the right to check her middle schooler\u2019s messages, she said she almost never does. <\/p>\n
\u201cI trust her,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Vale and her brother, Charley, 8, do not have devices, “and God willing, they’ll never have one,” Savannah said. <\/p>\n
For now, Vale borrows Savannah\u2019s phone, which can get a bit confusing. Savannah noted that she\u2019s close with the moms of Vale\u2019s two best friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose girls were texting on our phones a lot because they didn\u2019t have their own,\u201d Savannah recalled. So the moms moved their conversation to WhatsApp. Savannah titled the chat Moms Strike Back. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it\u2019s a picture of the three little girls with an X through it!\u201d Savannah said with a laugh.<\/p>\n
