Disclosure: I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Zact. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I recently had a discussion with my
neighbor about kids and smartphones. She has three teenagers who all
have smartphones. I haven't pulled the trigger on the smartphone thing
yet, but both my kids have basic cellphones.
One of the reasons I hesitate to jump
into the smartphone arena with my kids is that I am concerned about how
much time my boys will spend on the devices and what they will be
looking at. Turns out there are lots of parents with the same concerns
that I have. The team at Zact, a family friendly mobile provider, conducted a survey and found that 73% of U.S. parents are concerned about the lack of parental
control of a child’s activities on mobile devices.
So what are your biggest concerns when it comes to kids and smartphones? I'm not afraid to talk to my kids about the concerns I have when it comes to their safety and the expectations I have for them to make good choices when I'm not around. But I would love to know how others have approached the smartphone subject so that when it's time for me to have that talk, I'll be prepared! How do you talk to your kids about smartphone safety and responsibility?
