At what age should children be allowed to have smartphones and social media accounts? What's the problem with children having their own phones at an early age? Is this a plan that can work? Please share with us.
#age for children to use smartphones and social media accounts
in this modern era and indeed most of what I see on social media is called genset or generation z, in general children use cellphones and I also often see that because they are still in elementary school they are already using smartphones given by their parents, it's cool that they can use smartphones but maybe there are many impacts on them. sometimes I'm also jealous seeing children now using smartphones, even in elementary school many already have smartphones and already have Instagram accounts, there is no YouTube either. I remember when I first had a cellphone when I was in high school and I bought it myself with hard work to find money to buy a smartphone, even when I was still in the BlackBerry era.
#if we follow the rules of the social media ceiling, usually most of them limit the age to around 17 years old, yes, every time I want to create an application, there is a notification that the minimum is 17 or 18 years old, but there are also many children now who lie to the system by exaggerating their age, including maybe I have done it before
#The problem of children who use smartphones at an early age
I think there are many problems if they hold smartphones, especially now that smartphones are very smart and also in the smartphone, for example, we parents use banking applications and funds and that becomes vulnerable and fraud often occurs. I myself have been called a lot by fraudsters to drain my account but we pray that nothing we don't want will happen.
and there are also some things that we should pay attention to and the problem is that children may still be innocent and do not understand the bad impacts that occur on smartphones and social media, for example, they watch videos that are not appropriate for them to watch and may also visit online gambling sites.
And as I see when a child already has a cellphone, they are addicted and want to play with their cellphone continuously, especially when they play games, they will be addicted, even when they wake up they will open their smartphone and they forget to study and I have felt that too and my experience seems like this I am telling you, this is indeed a smartphone that is addictive and sometimes I forget the time including the children but they forget how long they have been on the smartphone
#Then, is it possible to plan to give a cellphone
the answer may only be by us supervising and explaining the rules from parents to our children and also now on smartphones there are many child modes in the smartphone settings we can set what can be opened and what I can't open everything is complete now so we can set what applications can be opened and which are available on the smartphone and we also give him time to use the smartphone which is okay and like maybe wanting to open the internet to search for things that need to be learned. and we have to see what is done, don't just give a smartphone without seeing what he will do and we will also see what content is on the smartphone, don't let us not give a smartphone because now I see that smartphones are now needed by children so that they don't miss out on technology too
that's my opinion about smartphones for children and indeed there are many negative and positive sides to this smartphone, so we as parents really have to be wise in giving smartphones to children, don't become victims of internet fraud because of negligence in giving smartphones to children and maintaining what social media they use, that's all my writing today, thank you for reading, I use Google translate
