[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest had an iPhone when he was 10. An older sibling upgraded and he got the hand-me-down  I never really thought of it as a big deal. Most 10 year olds have cell phones.  I don’t see the phone as any different from any other piece of technology. It’s a tool. [/quote]

Just curious for those of you who think it is no big deal to give your kids a phone, Do you set age restrictions on the phone for content or do you just give them a free for all?  Do you set parental controls on your other devices?  Or do you just let them figure it out and hope they don't stumble onto porn or other things????

We do set restrictions on my sons phone.  He's honestly not on it that much.  He prefers his Playstation.

Wondering what parental control my parents should have been using when we, at around the same age, stumbled upon a stack pf porno mags in he woods behind our house.  I will never ever forget the size of that penis.[/quote]

Presumably you didn't spend hours, every day, looking at those magazines.  Kids with phones can and do spend many hours, every day, on them.  Adults, too.

Why start young?  There's your whole life ahead of you to look at your phone.  [/quote]
