Answer:

Although many experts claim between the ages of 12 and 14 are fine for children to own a smartphone, many watchdog organizations like Common Sense Media stress the importance of judging a child's emotional readiness too.

Answer 2

${\huge{\boxed{\mathbb{\pink{ANSWER}}}}}$

The smartphone, after all, is the key to unfettered access to the internet and the many benefits and dangers that come with it. 

On average, children are getting their first smartphones around age 10, according to the research firm Influence Central, down from age 12 in 2012.

For some children, smartphone ownership starts even sooner — including second graders as young as 7, according to internet safety experts.

Some experts said 12 was the ideal age, while others said 14. All agreed later was safer because smartphones can be addictive distractions that detract from schoolwork while exposing children to issues like online bullies, child predators or sexting.
