This video is a shortened version for our article-Why Kids Should Have Phones (Cell Phones)
You can see the full and detailed article at
www.bestkidsso...
Cell phones for kids is a touchy subject!
A parent knows their own child the best and they are by far the best people to determine whether or not a child is ready for a cell phone regardless of the information below
While there are many reasons why a child shouldn’t have a phone.
The good news is that if the parents are willing to be diligent about monitoring and keeping track of their child’s phone usage the benefits many times outweigh the risks.
Although this is a list of why kids should have phones it is with the understanding that we are recommending a phone without social media apps or other apps that will not benefit younger children.
While it may be difficult for a child to understand the reasons to exclude their favorite apps, it must be done in order for the list below to be advantageous.
It is our belief that social media apps and other public communication apps should be reserved for more mature teens and young adults
With that being said, here are the reasons why kids should have cell phones.

The first one: safety can be iffy. If a child is constantly looking down at their phone/distracted too they aren’t paying attention of their surroundings. So it really matters the kind and restrictions.
@BestKidsSolutions
@BestKidsSolutions 2 года назад
This is possible, although I do believe that could be remedied by teaching them basic safety and procedural rules for the phone. If the A child is showing that they are not able to follow the basic rules then they will not be allowed to continue using it. On the other hand, if they can, then the multitude of benefits that come with having the phone such as being able to call parents or family at any time and even more so during an emergency is well worth teaching the child these basic procedures.

I got a phone when I was 10 and that was 16 years ago, it’s sole purpose is for text and call (emergency). But giving a smartphone on a 10 year old right now is risky because it can lead to social media addiction. That’s my opinion. Thanks for the video, it’s very informative. I’m babysitting my younger cousins (4, 6 and 9 years old) and I’m super strict about them using a smartphone.
@BestKidsSolutions

Congratulations on the new phone. That phone has great power and as they say with great power comes great responsibility. You need to use the phone as a positive tool and if you're going to use social media, which I do not recommend at a young age, you need to make sure that you are picking out the pieces of positiveness that you can find and learn from good people. Your mother has put her trust in you to use this device for something positive. Make sure you learn and make your situation better.

My kids first phone won’t be until they are 14 and even then It would be a old styled flip phone with no internet and it would only be used to call or message me or their friends. Also one thing I already do for them is that they get no digital media at home. I don’t care what they use at school but once they are home they are gonna entertain themself the way I used to when I was a kid. Books, VHS tapes, CD, DVDs, BlueyRay, board games, older video games, toys, and most of all outdoor play. I’m a Gen Z parent and my son is Gen Alpha, when I was pregnant with my son I saw many other Gen alpha kids who’s parents just put a phone on front of them the second they popped out of the womb and till this day that hasn’t looked too good on most of Gen Alpha these days with reading below the average grade level and the awful behavior and as someone who also worked with school kids i feel like it was the best decision I made to just raise my kid on the technology I used growing up (though the technology is still limited) and lots of time outdoors and being bored. (Idk why so many people see boredom as a crime these days)

I think you make some very valid points. Getting your teenager to be OK with a flip phone is harder than it sounds but if you are consistent with the flip phone it definitely curbs the social media and chat! That's not a bad thing. Well done!

It all depends on what you want the phone for. If you want it for the social media and chatting I would not recommend that but if you're willing to negotiate with your parents and get a phone without all that and only text or call family or approved people you should move it in the right direction.

Kids should definitely have phones for safety and communication. Don't let them have social media accounts though. Social media is destructive. Kids should have absolutely zero access to them. Video games promote creativity and decision-making skills, although there should be limited access to them. Maybe 2 hours per day in the weekends. Let them watch cartoons or play outside with their siblings/friends on weekdays. Gaming consoles are better than mobile phones in this regard, it's built specifically for gaming. No social media, usually no greedy microtransactions and absolutely no misleading advertisements. Mobile games are stupid. It's been that way for a while now.

A lot of people do understand the convenience of being able to get a hold of their child quickly and vice versa. Although there is a point to be made that a phone can be misused as well as documentation that without proper procedures such as no social media and chat apps phones can be dangerous. On the contrary, if a phone is set up correctly and used properly it can be a very useful tool to make life a little easier for you and your parents.

Let me give you a piece of advice my friend, never start out a negotiation with parent like... "everybody else gets to do it" or "everybody else has one" as a parent myself when I hear that, that usually ends the conversation or does not usually go in their favor. Every parent is different and your best bet is just to keep showing them that you're responsible and make sure that you are staying off chat (like this conversation) and other social media. As you prove yourself and get more mature you might have a better argument later.

You made me laugh with this one. I had a friend who always joked with his child to "go get a job" when the child asked for something. On a more real note, The phone would be for communitive and safety reasons only. A flip phone works great for this or if you want the benefits of the GPS safety features you would have to go with a smart phone. Either that or a flip phone with a Apple or Samsung Tracker Tag. Children will eventually have a get a job soon enough, for now lets let them be kids.😊

@BestKidsSolutions
@BestKidsSolutions 3 года назад
Our recommendation is a phone used for 95% family calling. I see nothing wrong with regimented games with careful consideration and adult supervision. Absolutely no social media and any game with chat. Your recommendation of "just" getting a dog sounds fun but is a considerably more responsibility than a phone and could overwhelm some families. If the phones does not work out you can just shut it off which is not an option with a dog. Thanks for the comment! It was very though provoking.
