@NASER ABDULLAH ALAJMI nice, but I got mine when I was in high school, though I never asked for it. Ps, the fun in destroying the battery on mom's phone isn't same.😂
tbh no one can be mature at such a young age ..Kids think they have figured everything out but in reality the only way someone can mature is by experiencing stuff
@@AgarParth What you're saying is very true, and reminds me of this Tumblr post: "Everything is real, no matter how young you are. A seven year old doesn't feel like a helpless infant, they feel the oldest and most mature they've ever felt. And they will when they turn eight, too. And nine. Twenty. Fifty. You never feel as young as you are, because you're always the oldest you've been. You can only look back and equate childhood with ignorance and silliness, because there were things you didn't know back then. But there are things you don't know now, too, that someone older is looking down at you for." - teaboot
I love how Phoebe gives incredible and talented statements about how if she’s lost she could stay in contact and then if her friend is sick she’ll give her support from the phone so I think they both give great statements.
Phobe’s mom: if she loses, she will have to wait two more years (when she’s 8) Phoebe’s face: 😧 Me: I didn’t get my phone until I was age 12 and everyone else in my grade has one
im 13 and dont even have a phone. but i still have a lot of access to the internet. her mom made a point about her preserving her childhood bc i feel like ive been exposed a little too much even without one.
@@christinacries I would suggest to just put that phone down lmfao 🤣 real talk here, put the phone down and go outside, or play with toys or whatever u have yk?
awww my god i might cry, that kid is so intelligent and mature and you can feel the genuine mutual love and respect from the child and mother and it's so beautiful.
Phoebe has grown up a lot since she joined Hiho, and she's still cute and funny. Overall, these debates are a great idea for the channel. How about video game privileges in the future?
I agree with mom, she just want's her child to enjoy her childhood. [Edit] For everyone saying “what if she gets lost?” There are multiple safe options, for example, smartwatches! TIMEX kids watches, GizmoWatches, KidiZoom watches, or even an Apple Watch if you want more high tech for children.
I agree: she should have a cellphone: not a *smartphone tho* just like enough pay fpor her to call the parents and to answer their text. Thats it. Get a Nokia
I’ll say she can get an iPad or iPod I’m sure she wants to talk to her friends from school and mom can monitor her Okay I just watched the video and seen she already has a iPad so I agree she should have a flip phone
I'm currently below thirteen (eleven) and I have my mother's old phone that only xan hold like two additional apps to what it came with. I'm allowed to get a new phone at thirteen
I like my parents rule. 1. You can have a an I-pad/tablet if you are 10 or older. 2. You can have a phone if you are in middle school and up. 3. You have to EARN your cellphone, so you need to work and get the money to buy it.
Phoebe has been a charmer since her HiHo debut and now we see how smart she is as well. Her mom's stance in the final segment would have earned my vote but props to Phoebe for thanking her at the end!
I think this hiho should keep this series going. It’s really fun to watch, but it’s also giving the child a chance to speak. And I feel like we don’t get to see that a lot. Keep it up 👍🏼

It makes perfect sense for a young child to have a mobile phone for emergency purposes. The point that WE didn’t have them at that age isn’t a logical enough reason to continue that trend. These days we are fortunate enough to have incredibly useful technology that is readily available to us. Why dodge the option of having a direct line of communication between you and your child? Back when cell phones were newer, the popular opinion was that kids shouldn’t get their own phone until they reach a certain age or level of maturity.

You’re probably still thinking about the fact that kids used to survive and get along just fine without mobile phones. That may be true for the most part, but I’d be willing to bet that having a cell phone for emergencies could save a considerable number of children from dangers like abduction. If you can easily afford to provide your child a with a cell phone, then why risk their safety by withholding a potentially life-saving resource? If the goal is to ensure that they hold onto their innocence, then it makes even MORE sense to send them out into the world readily equipped with a phone. Prioritizing your child’s safety in this way just might protect them from the corruption of their innocence. I shudder to give thought to the possibility that someone could take that from them.
When I got my first phone, I was 13 years old and legit it was a flip phone (I don’t remember the brand of the phone but it was the kind of phone where you slide up to get the keyboard) and I didn’t get my first smart phone until I was 15 years old (which was an IPhone 5 I think) so I don’t know what an 8 year old would need a phone for? I’m probably overthinking this! 😅
When I was younger my teacher told our class that if you didn't have a phone then that was a sign of trust from your parents that you were responsible enough to let them know where you were when out with friends. He was a parent, and idk if it worked on his kid but i went without one for until i was 14.
i honestly don't get that logic. if i don't have a phone to call someone i'm not allowed to go out alone and having something so expensive is a big responsibility so i feel like getting a phone is a sign that your parents think you're mature.
@@ellenczhang definitely agree with you. I didnt get a phone until I was 16 but my mom always made me call her whenever I hungout with friends in elementary school using their home phones and got mad if I didn't call her
Yup lol now she's 11 & had a smart phone since she was 10. I guess she reached double digits & all of a sudden she's an adult lol. Like what happened to her childhoood?
She could totally get a phone and set restrictions in the settings for certain apps, internet access, and time limits or just get a simple cheap starter flip phone that only allows calling or texting. That’s what my parents did anyway 🤷♀️
Well, it really depends on how responsible you think you kid is. My parents didn’t restrict anything and left the responsibility for my innocence to me.
@@iheartrnb5697 For safety purposes. When I was younger my parents had to work a bit later so I would be in the house alone for an hour or two after school. They wanted me to have a way to contact them or emergency services if needed so they got me a simple phone that was only texting and calling.
I side with the mom. I feel the child is to young to have a phone.(coming from a person who got their first hand me down phone at 10) I mean my friend told me in his childhood home his neighbor (he was six) had a phone. And he would eat fast just to do what ever on in. The points she (the mom) brought up are good.
I love how her mom took a chance and let her debate her on this matter. But I totally agree that 8 is way too young, so I'm glad it turned out this way. And Phoebe was so brave and mature in the way she handled it. She's a good kid.
Girl,girl,.. i have been lost in a mall, and i don’t have a phone when i was your age, i go to the security/customer service and i go and say “can i borrow a cellphone please.. I’m lost” the borrowed it to me, and i call my mom, DONE! Easy!
@@Jenightful i have pretty bad social axiety... You can still go up to someone and ask them for a phone...it doesnt feel good at all but better than having a phone at a way to young age...
Just because you didn´t have that stuff at the time, doesn´t mean, that that age is young. I was 4 years old and I got my first phone, the phone was with me till 1st grade (till age 7) and that phone still works perfectly, I´m sure she would be independent and would take good care of the phone.
@@-_Bel_- I'm 12 and I only got a phone when I was 11. I don't really mean to offend u but giving a 4 year old a phone is straight up bad parenting. You shouldn't expose young children to the internet it ruins childhoods. It's not about taking care of the phone it's about what they're seeing on the internet, which could be highly inappropriate, especially for age 4!!! I don't know what your parents were thinking!!! It's just bullshit to give a 4 year old a phone or anyone under 11.
CottonCloud ASMR But it matters how you use it. I was 8 when I got a phone but I didn’t get to have social media until I was 11. It was also so tiny and didn’t have a lot of memories. All I did was calling my parents if I needed to, calling or textning my friends on when we were going to play, and played games like candy crush. I also didn’t get to play games or watch movies until 6:20 pm, so I wasen’t on my phone that much.
@@cottoncloud0987 11 is too young. You are still in elementary school then. If you want to be a responsible person with a phone, you should only get it when you absolutely need it. Wait till you get 18, when you leave your city to go to university. My parents told me I'm not getting a phone until 14. My 10-year old self was like you, thinking "Why?", but now, I understand why. In fact, I've seen my classmates, they are all phone addicts. I don't want to be like them. I'm 13, turning 14 in two weeks, and my parents wanted to get me a phone on my 14th birthday, but I refused it, just because I don't want to be like my classmates, who are 24/7 phone addicts. Don't fall into that trap, only get a phone when you absolutely need it.
@@mwah1051 oh, I remember having a flip phone was a big flex before, you got to decorate it with bunch of stickers and keychains. Sadly, I don't get one just a keypad phone.
@@Mikasa333-x7t yeah lol 😂😂😂 and my friend's parents say that they got thier phone at 29 or something so they say that my friend will get her own phone at 20- like...
@7:26 real disappointment on her face and shock. If we go by the rules the kid won hands down 2--1. Yes we can all say she is too younge for a phone and she needs to enjoy her childhood away from technology and other influences but you have to be fair. She won two rounds.
@Zehra Mahmood I got one when I was 8 as my dad broke his phone and was as expensive to repair as a new one I was able to fix it by adding on screen buttons the back and hone button broke and it was a android
Waittt I’m confused as to how mama won when Baby girl won 2/3 rounds 😂 Give my girl a cell phone and put those parental control stuff on it and call it a day boo !
SAME 😭😭 I cant imagine how it feels to think that youve won a basic social necessity to not being bullied and feeing included, to then find out you lost unfairly and have a whole bunch of adults laughing and taking the piss out of you, ON CAMERA TOO. Why?
@@itsmemackenzie7865 shut up my sister is 6 and writes perfect like me! :O (I’m 10 the oldest but me and my sister shares account and she comments too.) I HAD A PHONE AT 6
"She has to wait 2 years" Oh wow- When I was eight, my mom promised me to have a phone if I'm in high school for only searching purposes... But her mom's decision was right tho. Cuz if you give a child a phone, they'll probably looking at the screen 24/7. And MAYBE, they might cause drama in social media... 💩
How are people okay with a tiny little child having a phone? Phoebe's arguments are actually really good but I would still not allow a kid, especially an 8 year old to have a phone.
I assume that the supervision and restrictions that the parent puts on the device make the difference. So the question after whether they can afford it or not is: would the kid even want to use the thing with all of the restrictions her parent would put on it? Don't forget, Phoebe already had an iPad.
Actually letting a person who is a child make an argument- I love it.

When I got my first phone, I was 13 years old and legit it was a flip phone (I don’t remember the brand of the phone but it was the kind of phone where you slide up to get the keyboard) and I didn’t get my first smart phone until I was 15 years old (which was an IPhone 5 I think) so I don’t know what an 8 year old would need a phone for? I’m probably overthinking this! 😅

When I was younger my teacher told our class that if you didn't have a phone then that was a sign of trust from your parents that you were responsible enough to let them know where you were when out with friends. He was a parent, and idk if it worked on his kid but i went without one for until i was 14.
i honestly don't get that logic. if i don't have a phone to call someone i'm not allowed to go out alone and having something so expensive is a big responsibility so i feel like getting a phone is a sign that your parents think you're mature.
@@ellenczhang definitely agree with you. I didnt get a phone until I was 16 but my mom always made me call her whenever I hungout with friends in elementary school using their home phones and got mad if I didn't call her

Yup lol now she's 11 & had a smart phone since she was 10. I guess she reached double digits & all of a sudden she's an adult lol. Like what happened to her childhoood?
She could totally get a phone and set restrictions in the settings for certain apps, internet access, and time limits or just get a simple cheap starter flip phone that only allows calling or texting. That’s what my parents did anyway 🤷♀️
Well, it really depends on how responsible you think you kid is. My parents didn’t restrict anything and left the responsibility for my innocence to me.
She can borrow her mothers phone.
what’s the point of having the phone then…
@@iheartrnb5697 For safety purposes. When I was younger my parents had to work a bit later so I would be in the house alone for an hour or two after school. They wanted me to have a way to contact them or emergency services if needed so they got me a simple phone that was only texting and calling.
I side with the mom. I feel the child is to young to have a phone.(coming from a person who got their first hand me down phone at 10) I mean my friend told me in his childhood home his neighbor (he was six) had a phone. And he would eat fast just to do what ever on in. The points she (the mom) brought up are good.

She's lucky even if she loses she gets one way to early
Just because you didn´t have that stuff at the time, doesn´t mean, that that age is young. I was 4 years old and I got my first phone, the phone was with me till 1st grade (till age 7) and that phone still works perfectly, I´m sure she would be independent and would take good care of the phone.
@@-_Bel_- I'm 12 and I only got a phone when I was 11. I don't really mean to offend u but giving a 4 year old a phone is straight up bad parenting. You shouldn't expose young children to the internet it ruins childhoods. It's not about taking care of the phone it's about what they're seeing on the internet, which could be highly inappropriate, especially for age 4!!! I don't know what your parents were thinking!!! It's just bullshit to give a 4 year old a phone or anyone under 11.
CottonCloud ASMR But it matters how you use it. I was 8 when I got a phone but I didn’t get to have social media until I was 11. It was also so tiny and didn’t have a lot of memories. All I did was calling my parents if I needed to, calling or textning my friends on when we were going to play, and played games like candy crush. I also didn’t get to play games or watch movies until 6:20 pm, so I wasen’t on my phone that much.
@@rosalie6468 thats actually a really good idea! you have amazing parents!!!
@@cottoncloud0987 11 is too young. You are still in elementary school then. If you want to be a responsible person with a phone, you should only get it when you absolutely need it. Wait till you get 18, when you leave your city to go to university. My parents told me I'm not getting a phone until 14. My 10-year old self was like you, thinking "Why?", but now, I understand why. In fact, I've seen my classmates, they are all phone addicts. I don't want to be like them. I'm 13, turning 14 in two weeks, and my parents wanted to get me a phone on my 14th birthday, but I refused it, just because I don't want to be like my classmates, who are 24/7 phone addicts. Don't fall into that trap, only get a phone when you absolutely need it.

"She has to wait 2 years"

But her mom's decision was right tho.
Cuz if you give a child a phone, they'll
probably looking at the screen 24/7.
And MAYBE, they might cause drama
in social media... 💩
This is how I will be when I ask for a phone for now on until I'm 16.
Props to the few people who actually won an argument against their mom
How are people okay with a tiny little child having a phone?
Phoebe's arguments are actually really good but I would still not allow a kid, especially an 8 year old to have a phone.
I assume that the supervision and restrictions that the parent puts on the device make the difference. So the question after whether they can afford it or not is: would the kid even want to use the thing with all of the restrictions her parent would put on it? Don't forget, Phoebe already had an iPad.
Pheobe really knows how to argue lol
She acts like waiting 2 years to get a phone is a lot. I had to wait 5 more years than her. Talk about being on the young side
