You know you can go half way and create some content filters and give them guidance on navigating the internet, you could probably do a better job than boomers could of considering you are tech savvy enough to be on a btc forum. I feel there is a golden mean in-between not allowing phones and zero parental supervision.
I think there's nothing wrong with you buying him a cell phone. You can also always communicate with him, but you have to be careful not to let your child fall into the wrong things.
Yeah shes 16 and thinks it about time to get her his own phone. What yours thoughts?
for that age it is enough to have a cell phone, because he is about to start entering the teenage phase, but don't forget to monitor it too, so that it is safer from something that is not good.
As long as my daughter is 15years and above I see no reason not to give her a cellular phone, our concern as parents is to monitor how they use the phone and what they do with the phone, she needs some kind of exposure but there is also a limit to that exposure, she needs a cellular phone for her assignments and the rest, even to keep herself busy with positive things online, she should be aware that using YouTube you can learn whatever u wish to learn visually, whether academically or skillfully and I know it will help her
I think it's absolutely normal at 16 to have a personal phone, personal boundaries hi
Our days now are runs by internet and gadget so having one is not that bad idea , as long as we will completely remind them on how to handle a mobile rightfully and their responsibilities having it.not entering site that is not for them and only limiting themselves for enough time to study and learn.
i'd say get her the phone but make her earn it with something ( school grades for example) , that way she wont take it as granted
our children now are Online classes , so they need nothing to accel but we are oblige to give them Phone . hero member

It's not a bad idea to offer her a cell phone, this era is all about technology.
As long as she can use the phone with the right, I think that will be no problem. She can use her phone to communicate with her friends, search for good news, or even search for data for doing her homework using the phone. But if she only uses the phone for playing TikTok, that will be the time for him to discuss the phone's function for her. Yeah shes 16 and thinks it about time to get her his own phone.

I would get her a cell phone. No doubt in my mind. There are parental settings you can apply if you think it is necessary. I am a grown adult male and feel unsafe without my cell phone on me. If anything ever happens, police can use the phone to help track her down.

why not? just be cautious of strange behavior !!!
She needs it for several purposes.. though it will expose her negatively and positively....
She needs it to maybe do her research and assignments if she's schooling...and maybe do the social media thing and interact with friends..
It's now your job as a parent to go close to her and advise her...the truth is we learn more things online nowadays

Many kids actually by around 10 years have started to get it. So if someone is around 16 then nothing to be too much worry as with the each passing year the younger kids have stared to get the phone. As well I will still consider better that till 16 she was without her own personal phone.

My Son has His phone at the age of 12 and he is responsible as how i teach Him so maybe your daughter is 16?it is right time to have Phone.

if you don't, she will sell herself to get it... and if you do, she will use it to sell herself.
sorry.
but there is hope, leave for a non coverage area (white zone) !!!
You should !

She is 16... in my country the most of the girls are not girls anymore at age..

She should get one, here in our country children as young as 10 years can own a phone, they need it because we are in a pandemic and they are in a distance learning, your child is already 16 years old, old enough to operate a phone and only two years before he becomes a woman, her age is right to own a phone.
Suitable age for 16 year old girl to hold mobile phone adolescents have the opportunity to learn more about technology than ever before and it's never too late to learn anything. Therefore the use of various means of social communication such as mobile phones facebook instagram should be allowed to be used after the specified age but through this you will also learn the practice of morality. Showing a child over the age of 13 is not a difficult task but it should be explained to the child that it should not be done before a certain age.

16 years old isn't that young. In some parts of the world, people buy cars for teenagers at those ages, and in some places, 16 is the legal age to drive.
The youngsters in my family are age-appropriate to own a cell phone when they are 12-13 years old.

A parent of a teenage girl of 16 should be able to know what runs in the veins of teenage,
and have better understanding of what the use of a cellular phone will be to her ward.
I believe you have had a close look at her and know what she is capable of doing with the
proposed cellular phone she is demanding for, so I will advise.
Have a good understanding of her aim for demanding for a cellular phone and if its convincing enough
by you, then make provision for it, if its within your reach. POSITIVITY is what is REQUIRED.
I think that this is a normal age for a child to have a personal phone, it's still the 21st century, so I think it's quite normal, and if it's her first phone a push-button is just fine, the child will not be distracted and have unnecessary time to communicate with your parents
