Vinnie2000:Embarrassed? Is it not better than having your child turn into a pro for the wrong reason just because parents are too busy to monitor them with their smart phone? |

My last born of 9½ years is about becoming a professional in phone repairs and servicing. Should you have denied him the prowess and development of his intellectual and technical know-how? I enrolled him in online coding lessons to help him with the software systems. |

Anybody who tells you after secondary school is just deceiving his or herself. The world is advancing pretty fast and a child as early as possible is expecting to get going with computers and phones because we are in IT world. There are lots of kids making alot of money on YouTube, also by playing metaverse games or selling NFTs. Most of the Tech billionaires today got their first computers at a very tender age and started writing lines of codes. One good thing about children is that as they play games on computers, they dream of creating their own games to their tastes and from there a programmer is born. As for me, my kids will have computers then tablets and phones as early as possible. They won't be allowed to take it to school and they will have hours when they are allowed to play and explore it. The internet at home will be restricted and a firewall place to permit Just a certain sites. These I did with my nephew back then when I was still with them and I noticed he became fun of constructing stuffs. My bad laptop. I don't discard them. They are at home and I notice he derives fun opening and closing the parts. Also there is no. Folder in a system. He can explore. That is the way forward with kids. Not outright ban 1 Like 1 Share |

Anonymoususher:Good for you then..Every parent must adapt a way to train their children. Everyone to whatever way suit them in parenting. The internet is a dangerous place for minors...aside from pornography child get easily lured to watched, there are paedophiles hanging around online looking, looking for young girls and boys to defile..A child of 13-15 can be lured by these animals. One has to monitor these children with smart phones and not assume that they are matured enough to know right from wrong. |

I've read comments like "I will give kids small phone with no internet and the likes" let me clear it to you that there is no small phones built for years now without internet accessibilities. It might be slow and limited in capability, but kids of nowadays reads better and it's only a matter of time before they get the settings and start assessing the internet, they will only not be able to access heavy videos or watch them, but bet with me that's even possible with the availability of memory card. Now back to the main point, if you refuse to hand them phone from home as a preventive measure, they will go to school and share with their peers who owns one. Case closed. A preferable solution to this is to engage little kids from minor, be open to them as a parent, don't be too harsh on them so that they can open up easily to you as a parent, let them realise how it is imperative for them to focus on their studies before getting social with internet gadgets and the likes. Anything short of that na force e go be o |

AdiokOnoNland: When they pass their JAMB. That was when I was gifted my first phone with internet and in this same modern era. I no die. I mean my own personal phone. There was a general phone in the house for calls. Kids need to learn to read and enjoy it, and be skillful with their hands, creative. if they are captivated by IT, get them a desk top Computer, and it must not be personal. They must understand Momsie and Popsie have absolute right over all gadgets at home. It is when they start to personalize gadgets like internet phones and laptops, that we begin to hear Chrisland Girl kind of story. |

The Op should be specific. A mobile phone or a smart phone? I believe a child can have a mobile phone in primary school just for communication. But a smart phone in the university. |
