Parents Guide To Getting Your Child First Phone
Giving your child a phone can feel like a complicated and stressful moment in life, but the tips in this episode, will help you get started, you can prepare your child for responsible mobile ownership. Whether you want to buy your children's first smartphone or are wondering which apps to keep for them, this guide takes you through all the mobile child controls you need to know.
According to the mobile phone survey, 96% of parents have at least one child at home with a smartphone. One of the main reasons parents get their children on smartphones is that they can reach them and forget about them. But before parents decide to rely on simply talking to their children to protect them, they need to be aware of the risks that smartphones can pose to their child. Like everything else connected to the internet, parents must ensure that their child is safe before using their smartphone.
Two really important foundations need to be laid to give you brand-new mobile phone rules that every parent should have. Work with your child on a family rule that they must follow before they get or keep the phone. Set up a mobile phone policy from the first day you are allowed to have a phone, even if it is only for a few minutes.
If your teenager insists on keeping the phone because of phone abuse, call the company and behave by surrounding the phones with locks. If your teenager proves more responsible, you can even take your phone away for a few days or even weeks.
Before handing over a child's smartphone, install security software such as PhoneSpector to guarantee data security on your child’s device. Read PhoneSpector reviews before you get it.
Take the time to talk to your child about why you have set up child controls and whether it is safe for them to surf the Internet or use social media. If you are not prepared for your child to trust you without parental control, they have no phone. Encourage your children to come to you with questions or concerns about material on their phones and encourage them to find software to monitor their parents. Look out for all apps, including free ones, and make sure you ask permission before downloading (age restrictions are okay).
