Ruth Peters, a child psychologist in Clearwater, Fla., said most children were not ready for their own phones until age 11 to 14, when they were in middle school.
One in 10 children is given their own mobile phone at the age of five, a poll reveals today. Parents typically give youngsters a handset at 11 as they start secondary school, but 9% provide them for infants barely out of nursery. They said the main reason was the childâs safety. The price comparison site polled 1,420 parents and found childrenâs average phone bills were Â£11 a month.
