18 years old for a smart phone, a non smart phone 12 years old. My aunt did this with her kids , there were no distractions and both of her kids graduated from brown university and Stanford university. She raise her kids as a single mother , her ex husband was a lawyer but refused to help them.
As someone who grew up without even a house phone, I say no child should have a cell phone, when they grow and can afford their own phone they can get one .
I've had a cell phone since the age of 7. It depends on the maturity of the child, I asked for it and got it due to my parents trusting me. It benefitted my life immensely, learned so much from the internet and about the internet that really put me ahead of the rest of kids my age. It connected me to technology and gave valuable skill sets that have made me a living at 24 years of age. A child should get a cell phone if he is ready to handle the responsibility and obviously providing guidance.
We are very excited to have Catherine Pearlman presenting as a Keynote speaker for our 26th annual HomeDadCon out in Phoenix at the end of September. She is returning to talk with our dads after first speaking about her book "Ignore It" back in 2018. Her books have been a great resource for the stay-at-home dads in our organization.
I didn’t get my first iPhone until I was 15 years old. And I loved it . I think a kid needs to be responsible for iPhone when they’re like 12 and 14 . Having a phone isn’t easy kids need to be careful cause it’s very dangerous and be trouble. I had my phone stolen when I was in high school and I never got it back which made me sad and angry. But they caught the thief but it was sold so I got a Bette phone thanks to my sis who lended me her iPhone . So I think kids need to learn these rules . Be responsible for your phone , keep it safe and be cat
Never! I grew up without it, in fact only landlines and pay phones existed and guess what I excelled academically. I developed socially and emotionally. It's still possible
Nah you just need to raise your kids with a social life and responsibilities and guide them when first using it,the argument of I grew up without this or but we didn't have this can backfire in bad ways because you prevent creative and efficient ideas and creations from being made not saying that a phone is one but it can be very useful and kids can learn a lot on them,more then you think you just need to teach them to balance the time they spend there
It's okay to not to have mobile phone in Pakistan until you get married, even after marriage it's depends on you if you want mobile phone or not.. but not sure about other countries
i think 8th or 9th grade is a good age. i mean depends on the kid but I've noticed if you don't have a phone and social media then you are left out in high school. if my child was responsible and mature I would get them a smart phone in 8th grade just for communication and school (many teachers really rely on kids to have phones for assignments
@@duckygoesquackquack848It is but I just choose not to have at age of 12 at the peers. I just use a tablets to research trends and stuff in way to be within culture. I usually good at lots of stuff.
My parents gave me a computer at the age of 2 and yet I didn't really start using it until I was 5 . I kind of think it is ridiculous 🙄 but funny at the same time. My brother at the age of 12 has to made his own computer by a raspberry pie . My brother got his first phone at 14 . I didn't really have a interest in phone until the 9th grade. My brother - always on the phone time, poor grades , and he usually doesn't go to bed until 1 am and do his school work in last minute. Me: good grades , my screen time a week is 6hrs and 13 minutes. My parents did give us screen time limit back as we were little kids. I ending up doing a Samsung screen trying to set my goal to 3hrs and 30 mins . I think it is better to do at 16 than anyone under 14 . My parents did the right thing at the end.
@@culan_SCP I haven't use it. Yet because my dad keeps on give me computers that don't last longer or can't meet the needs I have. My brother has used a raspberry pie.
as much as I would like to agree with you, I believe things and times have changed. With too much uncertainty and unpredictability in the world ,a phone might be a good idea nowadays
I would recommend 16-20 because you would know how to be responsible and reasonable at that age (I hope?) unlike 9 year olds who someone got a phone so early
Lol who else pulled up this video to show to their parents so they would get them a phone.
Kid: but mom it says I'm old enough 😂
Meeee
Me 2 years ago

Totally agreed
Thats child abuse
@@az0989ejdje yes it is a kid should've gotten his phone when he was 10-11 that way is already hardened
Dude whatttt 18 at that age you can buy it yourself
@@utahislit7753true

Thats child abuse. If a child can work at any age, then its ok but work had a minimum age requirement so no
Nowadays a kid needs an phone by the time there in middle school from how crazy I is out here plus school shootings

Age 12 teenagers middle school and up

Things change.
ln my opinion 14 because at that age 91% of kids in the US have a phone and if they don't they will feel left out and will get bullied.
Technology is evolving very fast and times have changed,move on
Wait until the child is in high school before they get their first cell phone would be my answer.
No! You Insane
Other than that schools and recreational activities have trustworthy adults present and landline phones
12, I say.
I got my phone when I was 12 but I remember a few of my classmates already have a phone when they were only 7
Smartphones did not even exists yet when I was 12. I'm old!
@@franksmith613 they did they were expensive
@@tangiechapman6219 Not Smartphones though. I was 12 in 1995.
not having a phone is better than a phone with a parental lab or time restrictions
no

I believe a child should get a phone if they are responsible and if they walk home
Get one around middle school, I got mine in the middle of 6th grade for Christmas
Why do kids need a phone? Makes no SENSE. This is why we are in a state of child entitlement
most kids need a phone so they can contact their friends and family
It's mostly for social media and to make contacts
But I mostly use my phone for playing games
Main reason "everyone have one"
My mom lets me go on my phone for as long as I want except eating❤
8 and 12. Good luck with that...........
My 5 yr old says that 5 is the right age.
My 70 year old grandpa says 70 is the right age😂✌️
I don't think young children need phones.
@LudwayIndepenancy💀 bruh you raised you
💀💀
14-18 years old.
When they can pay for it on their own
I’ll give my kids a smart phone when they show smart grades.
You are right

That actually late for have a phone

I’m going to say middle school.

@urfavvhailxxShame on your for saying that
@urfavvhailxxEven though 8 is too young have some respect it's not hard🤦
Never
Yeah good luck with that😂
I feel bad for your kids
should of seen a 3 year old already knows how to use snapchat, it was rather scary... Prefer that they handle phones MUCH older...
18 for me. I would say high school as an educator.
ln my opinion 14 because at that age 91% of kids in the US have a phone and if they don't they will feel left out and will get bullied.

You actually can see tone in a text, that's why emojis were invented
For a phone 7
When they enter high school. Why does a kid in public school need a phone.
Honestly idc getting my child a phone at 10
NEVER
Did fine without them, years ago
They're children!!!
as much as I would like to agree with you, I believe things and times have changed. With too much uncertainty and unpredictability in the world ,a phone might be a good idea nowadays
Years ago tho
@Rob why would you leave your kids ?
@@Alexva47 Work. Not everyone has stay at home parents.
That shows you have no idea about how technology works😂🤦
If they’re under 12 then no
18 - they've got a job, and they can afford it on their own.
Nope i disagree i got my first phone at 13 by cutting grass
I need a phone
Kids should not have a phone no matter how young they are
ln my opinion 14 because at that age 91% of kids in the US have a phone and if they don't they will feel left out and will get bullied.
Let them have a phone
i personally got mines at 4 no offense
Just get 'em a video card game pocket sized like poker and they can play and blend in so society doesn't ostracize them.
I'm old fashion so when you can pay for one than you can have one.
I would recommend 16-20 because you would know how to be responsible and reasonable at that age (I hope?) unlike 9 year olds who someone got a phone so early
20😳😳

25. Since they move everything else to that age.
Yeah good luck controlling them over 18
21
Why?
Weirdos
I bought my first phone in the 9th grade 😭🤣
😮no way they said what THEY ARE DOING ON THEIR PHONE PARENTS THEY NEED PRIVACY 😳😳
