Yes I think kids should have enough responsibility with a phone. With the dangers out here they can access 911

My daughter is only 5, but I know when she’s older I will want a way to for us to be in contact when she’s not with me. I worry about some aspects of it, but I know it’s a necessity

I think kids need a cell phone earlier than normal these days just to make sure that they are safe while they are with friends

Phones and smart phones are completely different. I can see my kids needing a phone when they have to stay after school for sports, etc, but they don’t really ever NEED a smart phone. Most adults aren’t responsible with a smart phone, so I don’t think kids need one until they’re old enough to drive. ha!

It’s definitely more convenient to be able to communicate with your child any time you want or need to, but I will always prefer yelling out into the streets to tell them to come home. 🙂

I liked my kiddos having phones so that I could reach them in a moment’s notice. I also like that they would be able to call me if they needed a ride home.

Smartphones for my kids kind of freak me out to be honest. We will probably start with flip phones once my kids are old enough. Then again we homeschool so phones will not be a huge issue for quite a while.
