It can be very difficult for most parents to decide whether to give their children a smartphone
In fact, according to a study published in the United States in 2022, more than two-fifths of children own their cell phones by the age of 10 and 91 by the age of 14
But that doesn’t mean you have to give up control as a parent
Rather, if you start a conversation early, both parents and children can agree on the schedule and expectations of cell phone ownership and the first necessary test use
1 How to determine if your child is ready to use a mobile phone
– Who will start the conversation first
– How responsible is your child
– How useful cell phones are in terms of children’s social development
2 What to do when your child determines that he or she is not ready to use his or her phone
– Preparing alternative options for cell phones
3 How to respond when your child uses a cell phone
– Use of applications such as cell phone monitoring and education for children
