      @Julian Roane imo thats actually pretty sensible, you can do more things with a proper pc than you can with a phone, so teaching your child to use a computer first is a better choice in my eyes

    Such a great conversation! And I was really impressed that they even discussed the fact that when they are parents there will be NEW problems to solve for their own children, that they themselves didn't face as children. Insightful.

    All the way from Nigeria and I'll just say the world is truly a global village. Having a phone at a young age and being active on social media makes you exposed to a false side of the world. Makes you have a wrong impression of life and puts you in unnecessary pressure because you will always want to have a sense of belonging in the social crowd. In the long run, you're chasing nothing 😟

    I believe you should not buy your kids a smart phone at all . Let them buy their own when they can afford it. Because the phone would take them away from you to a world you don’t know anything about. Then you won’t be able to bring them back.

    All the kids had great pints especially when social media has a big impact on teenagers and even some young adults so u have to be very cautious. Also that iOS and android phones do have good parental controls and even some apps are pretty good for that as well

      I got my first one extremely young. But you should have restrictions until you know they can take care of themselves. I personally never got supervision, but I learned safety fast. Most people don't tho, I surprisingly didn't got exposed to horrible stuff.

And now if this happened when I got my phone at age 13 turning 14 I wouldn't have been pissed but I am now bc you don't miss what you don't have.

    I wouldn't give my kids a cell phone until the month before their 16th birthday.
    Under 14- will be too young for a phone.
    15&16 - to be the ideal age.
    17+- the strict parents.
    My parents gave my brother a phone at 14 and he is simply spending most of his time with family. He has high school 2.0 GPA.
    I got mine at 15 - I have 3.67 GPA and As&B grade. I use the school bus so I can extra hour for schoolwork for school on Wednesdays mornings. I did allowed a 12 year old to use my phone for a bit .
    Edit : maybe 14 and 15 because i think 16 is bitn too old.
    0-2: no electronics
    3-6 : smart watch and tablet
    7- 10: flip phone
    11- 14 : Bark or Gabb phone
    15 + : a smart cellphone. They will have to sign a written agreement and then they will get a 30 day free trial . Once they 18 and plan on living independently and they have to pay their own plan.

      @walsh5238 3 года назад

      7th, 8th grade- I got a phone line... I wouldn’t get my child a phone younger than when I got a landline when I was a kid. And my parents could always listen in without me knowing it. Why in the world would they need a cell phone any earlier? The phone is small enough where you can’t see what they’re doing on it. A desktop or laptop makes it easier to see. Especially if it’s in the central area of the home. If you feel peer/kid pressured to get your child a phone, you’re in the wrong gig.

    Yes they still young but sometimes kids need to be exposed to things while they are under my roof soo that i can guide them and when they are 18 they will be able to handle situations much better
