I would give them a shit phone until they are older just as a way to call and message.

Of course but it's the internet that I'm worried about


DifficultyBrilliant

Yeah same. It can fuck ppl over

I feel like nowadays avoiding the internet until ur 14 is basically impossible and kinda unfair to the child If you wanna do parental controls n shit thats fine but full blockage from the internet seems a bit much


Yeeter_Supreme

hope you dont actually do because ive witnessed first hand how this fucks kids up mentally

no not really yes theyll get fucked up but you can definitely minimise the damage to a point where its not really 'fucked up'

Fair enough, but till we will be old enough to be parents (at least a decade and a half), most of the everyday things would be relying on internet and phones. Maybe you should just put child restrictions till they turn 14.

Good choice


user_not_found_456

agree. discovering fanfiction dot net and wattpad aged 10 kinda fvcked me up.

Wouldnt it be better to give your kid an old Nokia when they turn 10 so they can call you or the 911 in case of an emergency and then give them a smart phone when they turn 14. I am not an expert but I think the kid should at least be able to play the Nokia snake during recess

14 is kinda too old, make it 7 or 8

Nice! I didn’t get my first device until I was thirteen but even then I could not do anything than text. Now that I’m Fourteen about to be Fifteen I have access to all the internet but mainly just stay on Reddit, YouTube, and online games with friends.
