RE: Nearly Half of Kids Facing Smartphone Addiction | EcoTrain Question of the Week
nicely said mountain jewel! and you win the prize for fastest ever QOTW post!!!
im curious.. what age do you think is suitable to wait until a kid gets a phone these days? Lets say they CAN use one before then, but to actually own one?
oh i mentioned it in the post, but maybe you didn't see it. i said 16 was a good age, as youngins are also (at least in the US) starting to get their driver's licenses and having more freedom away from their families/actually have need of a phone. i think having a regular non smart phone before this would be okay (maybe at 14), but to really limit that craziness til they get a bit older. hahah glad i won the speed award this time, i was always known for being fast ;) looking forward to everyone's responses.
Quick draw McGraw!!! Lol. Wer'e all reeling in shock!!! I missed the 'own' thing, more the 'use' thing - but it doesn't seem to be mutually exclusive these days. If you're using a phone, you probably own one too, even if it's a hand me down.....my nephew has such a beaten up old thing, and my son refuses to part with his smashed screen 4 year old HTC because "mum, I can still text on it, so why do I need a new one" ha
