These days with the introduction of technology like smartphones and other gadgets, parents now use these gadgets as a means to pacify their kids, exposing them to the use of technology at a very young age. What age should kids be allowed to have their first phones?

There is no specific age , when the kids be given the smartphone. I had a plan not to give smartphone to my kids before they complete high school but unfortunately I had to change the plan as during the corona pandemic when the school classes were all online I had to give them smartphone.

My young nieces and nephews, ages 5 and 6, have a phone and a Netbook. They cry nonstop if disallowed from playing Mobile Legends . It was I who bought them netbooks, 4 netbooks.
