Question

What age do YOU think your child should have a phone explain in your opinion.

Answer 1

Answer: There is such a high incidence of mental and physical health issues among youth that is associated with technology overuse,” he says. He notes that most “official” recommendations are that a child is ready for supervised use of a smartphone by age 13.

Answer 2

Answer: I believe a child should have a phone at the age of 14 but hear me out, the reason I say this is because I believe children should be into sports and their studies; social media isn’t anything but drama which they don’t need. At least, I know my kids won’t have a phone until then, that’s even if they are interested in having one. Once again, I want my kids too be into their studies and sports, but everybody has their own perspective/opinion on certain matters like this.
