Is it a right choice to give smart phones to kids?

Hi guys,

Nowadays almost every single child has their own smart phone in which they use social medias like WhatsApp,Instagram,Facebook etc.They have a
great knowledge on how to operate them, but are they aware of using it in the right way?

Do you think it's OK for a kid to have his/her own smartphone? Share your views

No I never agree with this one. The smartphone may cause lots of health issues for a child. Also it may directly imapact the growth of the childs brain. Child should study with his/ her experiences.
Smart phones blunt the child. It is more effective playing in outside than playing games in a mobile.

This is an interesting question to talk about, kids shouldn't be given a mobile except to play phones. We don't won't to blame our kids later on for raising them up bad

Nope. What kids need in their childhood is parental care and guidance. Instead, parents give their kids these phones and let them be entertained. Just because giving the phone to a kid and keeping him occupied is easy, it doesn't mean it's the right thing for a parent to do.

In my opinion , No,it's not a right thing to do. In their childhood we should allow the kids to do physical activities rather than making them sit in a chair with a phone. many young kid having eye problems because of the phone usage. parents should spend time with kids to teach,guide and care them rather than making kids to entertain with the smart phones.
