A few months ago i would of said no way
But under the circumstances
Im considering getting my 8 year old a mobile hes 9 in june
Im not getting him a expensive one and i wont be letting him use it all day but i want to teach him how to use it in a emergency and i think it will nice for him to be able to video call family members and a few friends while we are isolating
I was at work the other day and he was getting looked after by 17 year old cousin i couldnt get through so was worried it would be nice for him to be able to text me
Do you think this is a silly idea
As before i would of waited of until he went into secondary school
What age did your kids get mobiles
