At what age do you plan to ruin your child's childhood by giving them a phone?

You don’t give them a phone. My kids won’t be getting a phone. They’ll have to do what I did, which is wait until they get a job and can afford one and to pay the bill on their own. And they won’t be in a situation where they won’t be able to get in contact with me or my wife without a phone.

That picture I posted just saddens me. Kids are just glued to phones these days. They don't talk verbally to each other or play with each other anymore.

This is the first generation to have this happen, it’s not good. Kids need to be playing with each other and out running around, not sedentary glued to a 3x5 computer screen.

Oh heck no. This is so not good. No phones allowed totally! Sad "Kids who use their phones for at least three hours a day are much more likely to be suicidal." Thank you for that link fschmidt

It's OK if parents control and manage the amount of time children spend with their digital things (phones, tablets, and etc). Unfortunately, most parents don't do that or they think digital things are like normal toys. Digital stuff are addictive.

I wouldn’t allow the Apple and Android phones that allow internet access and a bunch of apps. I’d get them a cheap trackphone. Just so they could call me when they leave the house, talk to friends, and make emergency calls.

I had a candybar and flip phone when I was a teenager. I still talked to people in person.
I don't spend a lot of time on Facebook. I don't like most smartphones, because I hate typing on a touchscreen.

I got my phone after completing my schooling and I'd going to do same with them. ever since my PC came, my success graph began to fall and low grades used to shower from all directions. Therefore I'd not avail them all those luxuries at such tender age.I will not completely cage their freedom, but will put some limitations to it.
