How old should a kid be before they get a smartphone?

I used to think my oldest daughter wouldn’t get a smartphone until she was about 25 years old.

I imagined making a toast at her rehearsal dinner and saying, “I’m so excited about this wedding and I’ve got one more surprise! Sweetheart, here’s your first smartphone!”

I exaggerate a smidge, as I am wont to do, but I did have a closeminded attitude when it came to my kids and smartphones.

What changed? Well, I explain it in this quick video I made.

If you have a kid, regardless of the age, I think this video will really encourage you.

We’re the first generation of parents who have ever needed to deal with smartphones.

It can be challenging, but it can also be a lot of fun.
