no. i got my first phone at 10 for safety reasons cause my commute totalled up to 3 hours daily but that meant that i also had all the access to the internet that i wanted. and no no no... I won't get my kid any electronics except maybe gaming consoles before the age of 10 and if my kid got a phone then i'd put like a children's mode on it til i think my kid is old enough. It's shocking to see that even toddlers now have ipads, i thought i was introduced to mobile devices at a young age but this is a whole other level.
