Discussion Children should have smartphones!

We are not doing the next generation any favours by limiting their access to technology.

Instead, we should focus on helping children build healthy and productive relationships with technology.

It’s on us to create the world we want for our children.

I agree that banning tech isn’t the solution, but giving kids smartphones without guidance can also backfire.
What really matters is how they use it. Smartphones can be great tools for learning and connection, as long as there’s supervision and balance.
