Parents and teachers: share your experience with children and mobile phones
Briefly

As parents navigate the decision of giving phones to their children, considerations often include peer influence, individual readiness, and alternatives like dumb phones versus smartphones.
The pressure to provide children with their first phone comes not only from children themselves but also from social dynamics at school and parental expectations from other families.
Parents and teachers are urged to share their experiences regarding the age of first phone ownership, shedding light on diverse practices and viewpoints in mobile phone usage for kids.
Young adults over 18 are invited to contribute their insights on what age they believe is appropriate to receive a phone, reflecting on their own experiences and hindsight.
