I finally got my tween a phone and now I'm torn

Half my friends say it's needed for safety and homework, the other half think it ruins childhood. What's your opinion on phone age limits?

Nah, get them used to it younger imo.

My friend's toddler can already unlock an iPad, which is kinda scary.

Read an article recently that suggested the sweet spot might be around 13 to 15. The writer argued that by then, kids have more life experience to handle the social stuff online. But honestly, doesn't it depend more on the kid's maturity than their birthday? Some can handle it at 12, others maybe not until 16.
