Although it's easy to see why allowing an elementary school child to have a cell
phone would be convenient for after-school pickups or arranging playdates with
friends, there is too much evidence to show that it's generally not a good idea.
Children already have a lot of access to media (on average over seven hours per
day) and it is the parent's responsibility to monitor their media access, which is more
difficult if the child has exclusive cell phone access. Cyber bullying, which is
increasingly becoming a problem, is also going to be a risk when your child has
unlimited access to a smartphone. Clearly, elementary school-aged children are not
emotionally mature enought to handle the responsibility of a smart phone, and the
borrowing of a parent's cell phone should be highly monitored to ensure safe and
healthful usage.
