A study reveals that 20% of 3-year-olds own a mobile phone, mainly used for simple activities. Driven by inquiries on children’s internet use, parents often wonder when to provide a mobile phone and how to ensure safety. The decision depends on the child’s usage, with fully-connected phones becoming relevant in secondary school. Prioritize a conversation about online safety, fostering trust and addressing potential risks. Set ground rules, explore privacy settings, and consider monitoring, ensuring openness and respect for privacy. The goal is to create an environment for open communication and mutual trust between parents and children.
