A major issue confronting parents these days is at what age to give their kids a cell phone and then how to manage their use on it?

One of the major concerns in a child’s journey is the phone addiction. Mobile phones have become an integral part of our life that we can’t simply put it off once and for all. Yet, the excessive use of phones leads to many serious issues. Mobile phone addiction in kids results in behavioral issues, reduced focus, and poor academic performance. This article explains the effects of screen time on children and the prolonged exposure leading to health risks such as disrupted sleep, decreased physical activity, eye strain, mental fatigue, and radiation exposure.

This are the major things am considering this time and why am asking the intelligence members in the House.

When is the right age to let your child have a smartphone?

10 years with parental locks.

10years, not android just call
18years Android....

The same age an adult tribal bigot should stop being a tribal bigot.

You can get your kids smart phone at any age... .. If they are to engage the internet...Just activate parental control.


That's simple !

No go loose guard....as parent ooo

Always ask for there phones ... And check for updates... Your parental control can expire..

Oh okay you don't know it can...

Then this kids are one step ahead .. don't loose guard ..

Never you , share you apps password of you phone with your pre teens..

If you do .. they will explore those things they can't do on there phones with yours..

And hooola they are der...before u know it..

Hmmmm

My 3yr old daughter already has iphone 12 pro max(my wife's former phone).
But her mother monitor's it.

When she has finished secondary school

This is scary

And peller is not 18 yet

12 yrs old, but with Heavy PRAYERS and Fasting.

Bcus of the TIKTOK madness going on in Nigeria.

My Neighbour's daughter, once the Parents goes out,
She runs into the house, wear Short skirt, come out and start doing TIKTOK dance videos.

She needs to be flogged with better KOBOKO.

Give her one when she ask so that I can call & see her, then monitor the phone until she is 18. By then, I will tell her "There are consequences to all actions" after telling her stories & fact that I AV come across & heard - I live with that CODE Everytime.
N:B There are pressures everywhere....

Depends on the country.

In UK and USA, for safeguarding concerns, from grade 4(8-9).

From grade 7 (12 yrs) your ward is usually given a laptop to take home.

Landline at home , laptop for a specific time, let’s say 3 hours daily

😂😂😂😂 Omoh see Phone-phobia 😅

All these won't matter in say 20years from now..
Cos even a 5years old child will be connected
