With some jurisdictions categorically recommending that children under a certain age (in the case of Denmark under 13) should not have a tablet or smartphone, what is your opinion on the appropriate age/way to introduce these devices to your children’s life? Do you use your own devices together with your children? If so, how and when?

While my own children are still unquestionably too young for tablets or smartphones, I’m already afraid of the social pressure that is likely to arise at an ever younger age when their friends start getting devices.

    Tablets aren’t a baby sitter.

    Goodness, don’t even get me started… 😡

    I had to take weeks to teach myself that, while having my phone is nice, I still need to pay attention in class.

    That tells me that the previous school’s ban made sense & bore fruit.
