Often when I go to talk to fellow parents or teachers will be placed the same question, "but, in your opinion, what age we can give the phone to the boys?". Good times, my, those of childhood and adolescence, where the mobile did not exist. We have grown equally, without any need for constant and immediate availability. How did we do? Living our lives normally. Here, perhaps, just live and let our children live normally, without excessive anxiety. An advertisement of some time ago stated that "the phone extends the life," may be true, but it certainly influences them. So
age? My son is now 17 years old. It 'was the last to have the phone in its class to junior high. I do not think there is an age, but it certainly leads me to say no to the phone before age 12. A study by the British government for the program MHTR (Mobile Telecomunications and Health Research Programme) states, in fact, that children under 12 years should be banned the use of mobile phones.
Even if the damages have not yet been established (the first results will be available within 5 years), there are fears a link between the radio and some cancers and neurological diseases. Anyway, we must always remember that children, as such, bear the brunt of any external factor (eg ultraviolet light) and therefore the risk, especially below 12 years for them, however, is greater.
Far be it from me or cause alarm states of agitation. Maybe take into account, children and adults who knowingly and correct use of mobile phone is a good thing, it's useful and wise. Beyond then, the precautions for the health, always very important, try to study what are the psychological and educational implications of using this medium.
I believe in giving our children the necessary dialogue to teach them what is the phone. Let's get from their point of view and we think the usefulness of having an actual phone in your pocket, without necessarily give him the latest cry in the market with a thousand functions, often not fully utilized.
The mobile phone can become a tool to facilitate dialogue between adults and children.
