Often, parents buy a mobile phone for their child, and this is considered normal, but rarely does anyone think about whether they need a phone to go to kindergarten. Such purchases are usually made because it is so customary.
Benefits of a phone for a child in kindergarten
By purchasing a mobile phone for their child, parents feel calmer, because thanks to this modern device, the child can at any time inform about the situation in the kindergarten. This will allow parents to be confident that everything is in order with the baby, and know that their child is safe.
People know very well that where there are children, sometimes not very good situations happen, for example, a fight between children, because not every teacher can keep track of the playing children. At the same time, after lunch, the child may have a stomach ache, and if the child calls home, most likely, the parents will advise him what to do. Usually, young children are embarrassed to talk about such problems with a caregiver, so a means of communication with parents comes to their aid.
In addition to emergencies, a child may simply miss his father or mother, and again the phone will play a role here, because not every parent has time to get out of the workplace and rush to the garden when the teacher calls.
Negative sides of buying a mobile phone for a small child
The answer to the question of whether a kindergarten child needs a mobile phone or not cannot be given unequivocally. Some people say that this shows the wealth and prosperity of the family, which puts other children in an uncomfortable position. Others think that a cell phone is just a must. However, it is worth considering whether a child needs to get acquainted with the latest technologies from such an early age, when he still does not really know how to tie his shoelaces.
Perhaps other children, seeing their friend's phone, will also want it, and because of this, quarrels will arise between the kids.
On the other hand, a phone for a small child is just a toy, after a breakdown, you will have to buy a new one. And such expenses are useless, because the child is constantly under the supervision of adults and can simply ask the nanny to contact the parents, and this will be an excellent way out of the situation.
Another disadvantage of a child's phone is the lack of proof of the safety of the gadget; to this day, some scientists are trying to figure out how harmful it is to the human body. In addition, it is also worth noting that a child because of such a "toy" may not want to play with peers and stop being attentive and sociable.
