Some people believe that children should be given a smartphone as soon as they begin their elementary school studies. Others believe this may harm a child’s development and parents should wait until their children are older and mature enough to handle the responsibilities of having a smartphone. Which view do you agree with? What might some consequences be of giving a young child a smartphone?

The argument about what age is more convenient for children to have mobile
phones
is an ongoing debate among parents. Many people think that elementary school students
should have phones
while others suggest waiting until they mature enough to have which I agree with more. Since smartphones
may distract students
at an early age and encourage them to play games
via phones
when they have to study. The possible consequences might be lower grades than peers who do not have phones
and addiction to games
.
First
and foremost, it is obvious why people think to buy smartphones
for their children since we live in a digital era. However
, giving mobile phones
to elementary school students
means offering them a distracting toy because they are too young to be responsible. Therefore
, they may distract their attention by using phones
during classes. Furthermore
, the developed smartphones
are multifactional so students
might play video games
as well. For example
, considering they do not responsible enough to use it wisely, their desire for games
might transform into screen addiction in the future.
On the other hand
, the possible results of giving children mobiles without waiting for their maturity might cause some problems for students
. If they use their phones
during classes and study instead
of giving attention to subjects, their grades will be lower than their classmates who do not have phones
. In addition
, giving young ones smartphones
may encourage them to play video games
more and they may end up an addiction to games
in the future for example
.
To summarize, whereas many people advocate giving smartphones
to kids at an early age, others and I disagree. Providing multifactional technology to students
may distract them and drop their grades and also
encourage them to get addicted to games
