I want my son to have a childhood that he can look back on with delight. The easiest way to achieve this is to delay giving him a smartphone
My son just turned 14 and he does not have a smartphone. When he graduated from Grade 8, he was the last kid in his class without one. This is a unique distinction that he does not appreciate one bit. In fact, it comes up on a daily basis and mostly consists of the same conversation on repeat.
This does not resolve our debate – no 14-year-old will ever admit his mother is right – but it’s not long before he gets distracted by the many activities that fill his busy days and we move on. His question, however, lingers with me. I can’t help but wonder if I’m being too stubborn or unfair. I want to ask. The fractured sleep, increased exposure to online bullying, and body image issues associated with social media use?
The justifications for my stance are there, steeped in social science and statistics I’ve read while researching my book, but I keep coming back to something else – time management.
