Children should be permitted to use mobile phones

Nowadays mobile phones are very popular with children of all ages as they see their all the time working with phones. Not much longer before people almost did not use phones, our parents have grown up by rarely seeing phones in their parents’ hands. But today everything depends on technology so children quite often see their parents with phones and interest rises inside them of using phones.

Children can be allowed to use phones but with certain limitations for certain groups. Limitations include no social media before the child is ten years old, though children are not allowed to use social media before they are sixteen years old, but we children need it to communicate with our friends especially during this time of the pandemic. 

Another reason for which I support that children should be allowed to use phones is that in western countries almost in every house both parents work and nowadays it is also not uncommon in developing countries. So, it is for sure that most children stay at home alone and with a maid to take care of them. The maid is often unknown and if there is any problem the children won’t be able to inform their parents without a mobile phone. Now it can be said that the children can be provided with telephones, but if there is an electrical problem it won’t work.

Another reason can be that during this pandemic everything is done online so everybody in the house needs a separate mobile phone including children. Parents are usually busy with their office works and not everybody can’t afford a computer or laptop, whereas mobile phones are quite affordable and are available at very small prices also.

Children often go for outings with their friends and at times mobile phones are very important as most of the time adults don’t go with children. In the view of the parents, a mobile phone can be given to the children to see if the children are going somewhere, where the children shouldn’t be. Not only when going out with friends, if a kid is going out alone a mobile phone can be very useful for both parents and the child.

To sum up, children can be allowed to use phones but with certain limitations. In this generation everything is available online, to get a note we don’t need to knock our friends, again and again, we can easily fetch it from the internet. Though children can’t use phones equally like the adults do, but they can be allowed to use phones.
