Children today live in a world where smart phones are ubiquitous. For them, access to smart phone is natural. And they are eager to have their own. There are many discussions about the ideal age for children to have their first smart phone. Obviously, every child is different and so are their circumstances. However, experts agree on the need for children to be mature and understand the scope of what they have in their hand. Children must be able to understand the dangers of sharing too many details of their life and personal data on the Internet.
2. They have to be aware that information published online remains publicly available and can be easily found. Last but not the least; they need to understand that following good manners matters; in other words, what in the online world is known as 'netiquette' is important. Experts usually agree on the fact that children may have reached the point of maturity necessary to have their own smart phone around 11-12 years.
3. Nonetheless, mobiles will require parental supervision for many reasons: to protect children, to teach them how to properly use smart phones, to avoid possible problems and finally to take responsibility for its eventual misuse. When looking at some statistics, we discovered from a recent study that 56% of children between 10 and 13 years have a smart phone, but most surprising is that 25% of children between 2 and 5 years also have one. Do kids need to have a smart phone at such a young age?
4. In contrast according to another survey 25% of parents believe that a child under 12 years must have a basic phone, 54% think that having a mobile phone is suitable for children between 13 and 15 years, and 66% believe that children under 16 should not have a smart phone.
5. Among the advantages parents find in mobile phones for kids is that they can call their parents in case of emergency. Many parents give their children a very basic feature phone when they begin to walk home from school alone. But children ask their parents for a smart phone because their classmates already have one. But smart phones are not for socializing purposes only
6. Children can learn a lot through their mobile, especially because, as parents, we teach them to take advantage of mobile educational opportunities. The age at which kids should have their own smart phone can be difficult decision for parents but you have to measure the advantages and disadvantage in each particular case.
