Should A 10 Year Old Have A Phone
Camila Farah
For your teen having a phone offers the same kind of security it does for you.
Ages 10 to 12 cheng says parents should place strict limits on phone usage at this age and not give children internet enabled mobile devices. So do 69 of 11 14 year olds and 31 of kids aged 8 10 according to a 2010 survey by the kaiser family foundation. With a sim only deal you don t have the handset costs to pay off which is perfect if you ve upgraded your phone so you can pass on your old phone to them. So bobbi below figured out why this question is odd.
Kids should only be allowed to use phones to call their parents he says. I personally wouldn t be comfortable with a 10 year old walking 2 miles by herself but if she does she should definitely have a phone. Well regardless of who is really asking this question. There are loads of really good deals with sim only like the one from voxi vodafone which is 10 a month and includes 8gb of 4g data unlimited minutes and unlimited texts plus unlimited social data.

Well at that age kids just need a phone that can call and maybe text when they get older they may need a better one for social reasons but 10 year old s should not be allowed on social media and have the whole internet for themselves give them a smartphone when they are responsible and at they age of about 13 but 10 year old only need calling for emergency and texting with their parents or class mates.
