Don't fall for this Apple marketing. Little kids don't need an iPhone![/quote]

When college professors say they're seeing kids who don't have the attention span to read a single book, this is how it begins -- by giving phones to elementary school kids. [/quote]

I am shocked by the amount of parents giving fifth graders phones at our school. With all the research out there, I can't believe anyone would think that is a good idea. [/quote]

Honestly, I don’t think they are good for any teens.  It isn’t heathy to be connected to your friends literally all day long.  Kids fill each other’s heads with a lot of dumb (and sometimes mean and dangerous) stuff- especially through text.   [/quote]

If your kid is in a lot of drop off activities, having a smartphone can keep help them safer. Being able to text or call family and look at Google maps is not going to harm them or make them dumber. You wouldn't let your child fly alone without a phone, would you? But as soon as the kid gets home the phone should go back to the parents, and the parents ultimately are the only ones who have unrestricted access to everything on the phone. It's not something kids should be keeping in their rooms, loaded with social media apps that they stay on all night long. [/quote]
