An article from The Guardian highlights the idea of a phone-free childhood, after parents raise concerns over their children owning one at a young age. But the thing with technology now is that children as young as 9 years old might need one anyway, just to not get left behind. This is a stark difference if we compare the ages people used to own phones decades ago. So we explore this question with our listeners, and ask their opinions on when parents should provide their children with phones.
