I hate parents who give small kids smartphones to hands

[yawnmoth]

there's definitely lots of factors at play here... i can see some positives to showing them how to use tech that is relevant, but you wouldnt want to introduce them at too young an age.

I have a kid and it is very difficult not to give her my phone when every child around has one.

Up to now I manage.

It is an easy but wrong solution for parents to keep their children occupied and find some time for themselves.

It's actually a problem that is very common nowadays. And the sad truth is that, there are parents who are using mobile phones to make their children quiet when it cries.

Here is the problem that I see on this setup. The children who grew up om gadgets could have a hard time socializing with other people. It could also be one of the sources of depression and frustration in life. I'm not saying gadgets are evil. But we need to be able to discipline our kids and make them understand that using mobile phones so much for kids would be unhealthy.

I agree with your parents, when I have a family and have children, I will forbid my children to own a smartphone, and let him hang out with his age friends with the traditional toys like me when item child

[Silverstone79]

Yes I hate parent who give small kids smartphones to hands, children are becoming un-socialized.

It's good for a child to be technologically knowledgeable but its not advisable giving them a smartphone especially the under age.

Dude  ,you took the word out of me . your right . The way things going , Smartphone will be the main reason for new generation to be dumb. im 24 . and i see alot of them just fb and games . no creativity. its a dark world for future.

[Impulseboy]

Agreed. Smartphones is an awesome high tech gadget. We can do so much more with them. However, I also do believe that it is not for small kids, especially kids under 7 years old. They should be out there, playing with their friends, learning how to interact with others personally, and not keep their heads on their phones all the time.

[seniorita]

Same like you, they really careless about their kids future, smartphone just make kids play often forget about their jobs. smartphone is good when user know how to use it, but for kids i don't think they really know how to use it properly.

[BigBlackSheep57]

those parents are the most dumb**** parents ever . those kids dont get real life idea , as result they go into downfall.

[CrucialTechnology57]

Its sad to see our new generation to succumb into this kind of things . only way to fix this is to limit the use of smartphones to a age say untill  18.

[swaggerkeme]

In this technological age, it is extremely difficult to exclude phones when dealing with kids. It is good to introduce kids to the usage of phones at an early stage of their life but parental guidance is extremely important.

[CrossSignal74]

its a global problem , this over use of technology. parents ought to be care full, its for their own kids sake.

[Heartland76]

its a advanced world right, and kids must be advanced to cope with technology. but at a limit.

[AfterRealLife87]

UNDER 7 SERIOUSLY? MY GOD , parents are losing it . my god , help us. the kids are gonna be having glasses before they know it.

[Leadership58]

man those were the days , new nokia out and everybody jumping to play snake,man. but kids  today becoming so  over-addicted with tech, we might see a second dark ages.

[Bara420]

phone in church? Thats too much. And toddlers getting addicted  like, this is no good sign.

[Raggedman]

just dumb parents.... easy excuse with all the other kids have one so my kids need one too...
we grew up and learned to talk to each other... play games be creative?
i was always the latest around my friends coming up with new mobile phones or playstation or what ever and i dont regrett it at all
all these devices just kill your creativity^^

[sorin1990]

I think it depends on why they are giving the kids the phones. If they give it to then at really early ages just to make them stop crying or to keep them calm in one place I agree. but there are also some parents that give their kids smartphones to help them learn and get the habit of technology, and they allow their kids to have access to it only a specific time per day mostly under supervision

[chillin1]

Not agree about it too. Because the will have side effects. They will suffer if the time will come. Kids must play or do activities and socialize not playing or using smartphones and socializing in internet.

[ololesia]

I agree that smartphones sometimes are used stupidly, and it can be really dangerous to give it to small children who easily become addicted to them
