[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only a flip phone. Not a smart phone with apps. It’s the old fashioned one in the Adele video. No kid should have a smart phone. Kids are legally not supposed to be on Sohail media until age 13, and then it depends on your child.

Also, an interesting article came out in The NY Times that wealthy parents are keeping their kids off of screens. Middle class and lower class are being sold phones and screens more, and are starting to become disadvantaged because of them. The currency of the future puts a premium on actual,people skills...which is something the middle and lower clases are already losing.[/quote]

This. I don’t understand why parents are buying their kids or letting their kids have a smart phone at a young age. All evidence points to it being harmful. If your excuse is I need to reach my kid, buy a flip phone. [/quote]

We’re not buying a flip phone rather than giving Mom or Dad’s hand me down. No excuses needed.[/quote]

You can get a flip phone for less than $100. [/quote]
