Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback

  When you do, I hope your opinion changes because:

  1. A kid should never be in that position
  2. If they are, a phone isn’t going to help
  3. There’s a decent chance the phone got them into that situation (e.g. chatting with predators online)

  So I reject the premise. If a kid isn’t safe without a phone, adding a phone won’t make them more safe.

    We went talking about a phone we were talking about a smartwatch…

      Change “phone” to “smart watch” and my point stands.
