It cannot usually be early for the offspring, while parents like to slow down time: when it comes to when children have to get their first mobile phone or smartphone, opinions differ. Krone+ tells you how you can determine whether your child is ready for a smartphone – and what alternatives there are.
As a rule, when you go to school, parents wonder if their own child is already “ripe” or old enough for their first mobile phone. The decisive factor is mainly safety problems: the child may have to have to complete the way to school for the first time and, if necessary, come to their own home at home.
Or in his spare time it would like to pursue certain activities with his new classmates, who sometimes already have a mobile phone and exert social pressure on the child accordingly to do the same to belong.
Paradoxically, however, the wishes of the parents are often confronted for more security for their child via a smartphone with new concerns, which are made possible in the first place by the technology. So many parents fear that the child can be confronted with inappropriate content such as pornography or bullying, or getting a dependence on the mobile phone, which ultimately also suffers from school.
So what to do?
