Why Children Shouldn’t Have Smartphones: A Father’s Perspective

jumbo~!This timerequest boxI will answer the questions that arrived at In summary,“At what age can my child have a smartphone?”What a feeling. Let’s answer now.

Basically, Kenyan children are allowed to have smartphones when they turn 18.After finishing my education.

But in reality, it didn’t work out that way. We often see children as young as 3 or 4 crying for smartphones to enjoy anime and games.

This is just my opinion as a father of two daughters.I don’t think it’s a good idea to let children have smartphones.There are many reasons for this.

・What I think regarding smartphones

First, it can interfere with children’s sleep. Sleep is very important for children and even adults.Smartphones make sleep worse.

Then sight. Small screen, close distance. If you look at your smartphone all the time as a child, your eyesight will surely get worse.I think that the visible world will also become narrower.

My eldest daughter is the same, but for example, between the ages of 10 and 15Smartphones have a negative impact on older childrenI think.

They may stop watching anime and games like the little ones. but,You’ll see YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook.

Their brains are much faster than our grown-up brains. Their ability to absorb information is incomparable to that of adults.

Good information is fine. However, the possibility that bad information will flow from media that can be viewed on smartphones is not zero. No, actually, I think there are many.

Then,Young people who don’t know much regarding the world will absorb bad information more and more. It’s never been so scary.

・What parents should do for their children
I think we parents should advise our children not to use smartphones. It’s important to make it work that way.

for example,Efforts to teach and encourage children to enjoy things other than smartphones are also necessary.Go to the pool or take a walk.

I also think that if you can’t go outside, you should teach your kids housework and give them experiences they can’t get on their smartphones.

Teaching how to clean, teaching how to do the laundry, singing and playing in the house,The things you can teach without using a smartphone are endless.

Children want smartphones because they are bored.So don’t get bored.“Let’s go buy sweets and pizza” and take them outside.

And I think that we should teach children regarding the dangers of smartphones more and more while trying to get physical contact. That is the parent’s responsibility.

So, the answer to the question “How old can my child be to have a smartphone?”“Children should not have it” is my answer.

following finishing my education. since she turned 18. Since she was able to buy her own smartphone. After I became able to pay the communication fee myself. It feels likeKuwaheri!
