The Age of the First Phone: What Parents Should Know
When should a child get their first smartphone?
For many families, the decision doesn’t feel deliberate...it just happens. A birthday, a hand-me-down, a safety reason, or the sense that everyone else is already there.
In this episode of Darnley’s Cyber Café, we slow the conversation down and take a closer look at when kids get their first phone, and why that timing matters more than most people realize.
We touch on health, emotional development, and the quieter issues around privacy and digital exposure, and what parents can realistically do without overreacting or banning technology altogether based on a recent study published in Pediatrics.
