I think After Secondary school too.But sometimes the child needs the phone as early as possible in case of emergency.Whst matters most is proper upbringing and prayer too.Because some children can still get access to phone from other children and sometimes from older adults which is bad because you can't monitor them.

It also depends on the type of phone...like for me if I had a child of 13 years I wouldn't buy him an iPhone...I would rather give him a Visafone...till he becomes mature enough

huh

Once he or she enters secondary school only small phone (without internet), reason for this is for security reason, so that you can keep track of your ward.

With internet once he or she finished secondary school...

16 Years.


Meanwhile....
The way we just throw the word ‘RAPE’ around so loosely without considering how much damage it can cause.

Firstly, as parents we need to pay close attention to our kids and what we expose them too, cos mahn it’s a crazy crazy world we live in.


CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.


All of us @[b][/b] say NO to child porn......

Thirteen (13)

You can't open a Gmail account, IG account and so many social media profiles unless you are 13 years old.

Parents cheat by using their age or false ages to create these accounts for minors.

When they are about entering the university, prior to that they could have a home phone which should be a normal torchlight phone.
