Many parents wonder how young is too young to start monitoring their child's cellphone. The more important question is how young is too young for a child to have a cellphone? In these dangerous times the intent behind giving their child a phone is merely for safety. Honestly how many parents just give their child a basic flip phone? It seems like the more I go to restaurants, parks and stores, the more I see young children on tablets and smartphones. Parents reasoning behind purchasing a smart device is the kids can keep occupied with games in long car rides, they can use the reader function to read stories and they can call or text their child when at a friend's house or away from home. All of those are perfectly safe reasons for allowing your child a cellphone or smart device but most of these digital devices have preinstalled social media apps and browsers. Those sophisticated features can become Pandora's Box for an unsuspecting child.
