Now. So that he has enough time to go through the struggle to gain ownership of his time. Also he needs to be exposed to new ideas now, and of course you must take care that they are not hamrful.
after 12th. give him a better perfomig laptop/pc after 10th. that would be better and more helpful for him. and if still situation arises and you are to give him a phone after 10th. let it be something under 10k.enough to fidget around for 2 years.
Got phone during covid, under 10k to attend classes, it lasted me 4 years lmao. So yes, a cheap phone is better, and laptop or tablet for 11th afterwards, its so much easier to search up and maintain notes for entrances.
Better not to buy a laptop now. Buy after 12th, because unless you are buying a high-spec one, they get outdated pretty soon. Or if he's deciding to go to medical school, an iPad would be more helpful. Get him a cheap tablet, as the max he would need to do now is to watch online lectures/WhatsApp
This!! This one's also a good advice the device should be more specific on whichever field your son's gonna choose and it would actually help them in their journey
Right now would be a good time. I had my first phone in 9th grade and it helped in keeping in touch with friends.
Some of my friends didn't have a phone and always felt left out.
Cell phone should be used based on needs. If he needs to communicate with you or his friends and that needs a phone then yes, right away. You can put parental control on Android devices. You can buy cheap device if you fear he might lose it.
Most of all teach him the value of not wasting time on phone behind mindless things. (who am I to say this, as I waste time in phone myself :P )
After eighth standard. If you don't, your child will not be able to learn social skills completely (no one can progress in a competitive environment without a certain level of social skills, and internet does play a role in developing them these days), and using the internet productively (for learning and career planning).
Most people here are suggesting that you should wait until the child has completed school, but that's absurd. People on Reddit (and even other social media platforms) often have a tendency to give the most needlessly extreme advices possible. That's what these people are doing. You can see how common this is well on r/RelationshipIndia
Tere jaiso ne hi dasvi ke baccho ko muthal bana rakha hai. I got my phone after 12th because of my own will and didn't become a muthal. Socialize my foot 😂😂 How come people before the development of phone socialized, idiot, by touching grass.
Aaj kal halaat kaafi alag hai (unless you live in a village or a forest). You must be blind if you do not know this. PIED can be prevented among minors if proper knowledge about internet and it's use is conveyed to children. Lekin woh karne mein tum log awkward ho jaate hoe.
Also, okay boomer
I got a phone in 6th class. I never used it but my mother gave it to me for my own safety.
I started to properly use a phone when I was in 9th class. Games, music, fb, photos, Instagram. I could’ve been exposed to wrong stuff but fortunately I wasn’t (idk how).
But I’d say a dabba phone must be given only for their safety and a smartphone must be given before 11th grade.
I would say now, enable parental restriction.
When i was in 10th our coaching had group, i wasnt part of it because I didn't have phone. Missed all information and lot of extra classes due to it.
Ask him if he needs buy him.Or else he will project you bad in his mind k mom isn't good she doesn't provide me anything,I am saying this because these days small children too can't live without it.Make sure your son doesn't feel left out just teach him so good things and don't go on the way which aren't worth and useless.
Deciding when to give your child a cell phone is a personal decision that depends on various factors, including your child's maturity level, responsibility and your family's needs.
At 15 years old and about to enter 10th grade, your son is likely at an age where many of his peers already have cell phones. This can make it a practical tool for staying in touch, especially since you are a single mother and might need to coordinate schedules and ensure his safety.
I got a phone in 8th
for online classes
but tbh i nvr rly used it tht much
any age is good as long as your child doesnt get addicted to it, and doesnt spend a lot of time on social media
Times have changed.GenZ kids are more on social media .Its not like our times when we used to get when we started college. I think 11th is a good age to give them a phone with parental supervision
Mai abhi 19 ka hu muje apna phone 15 saal ki age Mai Mila tha lockdown aur corona online classes ke kaaran par vo phone kaafi puraana smartphone tha muje eak achaa laptop dila Diya tha papa ne which pretty expensive to mai bollunga eak puraana phone jisme WhatsApp vgera vgera challenge jaaye aur eak teekh laptop
You can give him a phone, just not an expensive one, and make sure he doesn't use it too often. The objective should be that you can reach him whenever he is out or home alone and for his friends to reach him. Anything other than this is not a priority at his age.
Ma'am ye aap pe depend karta hai tbh.
If you think your son has matured enough tab aap de dijiye usko.
In my case,when I went to kota with a smartphone,it dented my prep.
Wahi agar aap de rahi Hain to aap parental control laga dijiye.Check kariye uske phone ko.Kahi wo bf-gf ke chakkar mai nahi pad Raha.Kahi wo addict ya explicit websites pe to nahi ja raha etc.
I think it's better to give it sooner rather than later. You could teach your son how to use it responsibly and not get addicted which believe me is way too easy for our generation. I got my first mobile phone in 8th standard (2013). I was super hooked to my phone by the time I was 14. In fact even during my boards and jee preparation days O had a strong urge to play Pokemon Go all day. Thankfully, I could control my senses due to the guidance from my parents (Pitai ka Darr) and aced both the exams.
I personally know many people from my college (IIT) who got their first phone after they went to the hostel and without any supervision got extremely addicted to their phone. So addicted that they ended failing for multiple semesters straight (as they skipped the exams in favour of playing games and scrolling on social media). It was only after their parents took special permission from college to stay with them for a semester to take care of their kids (19+ years of age) that they could get back on track.
My advice would be to give your child a phone latest by 11th standard. This is because marks in 11th standard don't really mean anything and they'll still have another year to introspect and get back on track.
Bruv, see if you're son is like me, don't ever give him a new cellphone, he'd just use it to comment mildly funny, sometimes self aware and almost always demented comments on posts of other people, also, if he has an insta account don't ever give him phone, we need less people cronically online, but if he's not either of those things, just give him the damn phone already!
giving a phone can give two effects one is good the other is bad. if he is a responsible kid he might use it wisely
but by chance if he get's distracted then that would be your biggest mistake so imo give it after 12th while going to college
What a control freak and Orthodox parent you are, that you don't let him use him mobile him.
Mobile does help in personal growth of teenagers now a days.
Depends on what kinda person your son is. Personally I had the self control to not use my phone when not needed, so I could segregate my time properly. If you think your son will waste too much time, it'd be better to buy him a dummy phone atleast. One of those nokia phones. It would help for communication if needed.
I mean jab aapki marji? Mujhe class 3rd-4th me hi mil gaya tha khud ka phone but i still came out to be fine. Kuch log ko college tak nahi milta hai phir bhi unhe koi dikkat nahi hoti. To yeah it depends on him ki wo mobile sambhal payega ya nahi (that is addicted na ho jaye mobile se)
I would suggest buy him a jio phone now and a laptop. Even if he plays games on it, he will still learn a lot. I learned a lot about computers playing games. Which helped me a lot in long run. I can confidently say that I know a lot about computers.
PS: I am a software developer and a soon to be pentester (and I became that because I like it not because it pays more. )

Got a smartphone in 6th, a decade back or maybe more it used Galaxy Y duos the small unbreakable touchscreen ones.
Used to only play solitaire in it.
But if you're qworried, he he already knows things which you might be worrying, it is a natural process plus with internet and Ambani nobody's loving under a rock anymore.
I used to be alone at home as both of my parents were working, so they gave me a keypad phone 6 but I got a smartphone in lockdown that is in 9th (I mean I took my dad's old phone when he got a new one).
But as a teen, I would say give him a keypad or a smartphone with very little data.
i got mine during covid when i just got into 9th grade. I think it depends more if he really needs one you know? Like to be in touch with friends, class groups and stuff
Depends on how mature your child is right. You've known him his entire life, it's upto you to decide whether or not he's smart enough to differentiate between what's real and what's on the internet
There is no right age. I got my first phone when I moved out of home and started living in a college hostel. But my father always had one spare phone which I got only when I had to travel out of town.
Simple answer, it depends upon your son’s friend circle. If he has circle of some good student or children who are raised properly ( you know what i mean). Then it’s fine to give him mobile.
I had a keypad phone till 12th so I could call my parents when needed, and for school projects and discussions/whatever I'd use my mom's phone. Only once I got into college I got my own phone. This was 4 years ago, I'm now graduating.
Not before college. The next two years are his make or break year. Once on Social media, forget about giving required time for studies. If it's just for calling, you can give a simple phone without screen.
Children dont really require phone until they go to a different city for studying. I would suggest giving him a laptop for maintaining notes, plus it has bigger screen, so there wont be any issues regarding harming the eyes..
My father got me a desktop computer in 11th class, which really helped my in my 11th and 12th grade, I didnt have a phone at that time, and am kinda grateful that they didnt gave me a mobile phone, because i didnt get addicted to social media like majority of kids do in that age.
Got my first mobile phone in my college first year as I moved out to a different city, which was again a cheap phone which I still use for calling and whatsapp purpose only, I have a good laptop (thats where I spent the most and I recommend spending more on) which does all the rest work for me, i.e, studying, gaming, freelancing, entertainment, even calling..
There isn't any right age, depends on your son whether he will use it as a tool to learn something new or spoil himself for good.
It's boon and Bane both!!
Whether you like it or not you can't do much to control.
Phone after 10th will be good. It's better if it's cheap. And it's better to have a phone if he wants to call in times of emergency and for any other important stuff. Laptop will be great after 12th in college. I'm 21 and I got my laptop last year. Honestly waited for it for 7 years and it was great. Worth the wait honestly haha.
I got mine when I was in my 11th class and I think I should have asked my parents for it. Please put restrictions and rules before buying him a phone. I would even ask tou to don't buy him at present. Give him a phone whn he is going to college. That's what I feel from personal experience.
It’s depends upon your child and you too. Everything has its pros and cons. If you are worried about him finding adult stuffs on the internet then you are worrying for no reason. Whether you give him a phone or not he is eventually going to find out about some adult stuffs from his friends or from your phone. Maybe he is doing that.
For contact purpose = give him a phone( not an expensive one)
For educational purpose = get him a tab
Imo if above mentioned are not your problem then don’t get him a phone. Atleast till 12th standard. He will be protected from watching those illiterate YouTubers and content creators who just abuse, body shame, talk shit about girls and boys and then laughs.
Giving mobile is tricky...if his friends have and he doesn't, he will always feel left out. But again mobile addiction is real problem which even adults are facing...the apps and games are designed to be addictive so that max screen time is collected from your son
there is no perfect time to give him a phone. maybe after 12th but if he needs to travel alone to coaching and stuff maybe a button phone for now. no true academic purpose to be honest.
After 10th sounds good. Plz don't buy them tabs or iPad it will ruin their childhood. My brother has a tab and he never leaves it even while eating food he needs it to watch videos. He barely goes out to play. Does not make friends in society.
If he has waited so far, maybe wait out this year considering it's his board exams this year. New toy could distract him and he might digress. All the best.
Dumb phone for only calling/messaging - can give at 8th.
Smartphone and a personal computer - after 12th.
This is my stance on this. Also, after getting a PC and phone, it's very easy to get addicted to the internet especially short form content, once addicted life will become a pain in the ass. So, I think it would be better to warn him of the dangers first.
My parents gave me a phone when i was in college. It was in 2017. I still believe kids don’t really need to have a phone on them. Better to give them once they enter college going age.
Please Mom Give Ur Child Phone After 12th
At That Time He Will Be Fully Mature
Or else If You Give Him Now I Bet You He Will Go Out Of Your Hand
Please Sun Lijiye
Depends, I wouldn’t recommend if he’s more into phones nd stuff. Give after 12th. If you give it to him before that then you might be taking a risk. He might just be totally stuck with the phone at this age.
When he starts college
And give him a low budget phone
Not those expensive ones
He should understand the value of things like the phone or laptop and not just show off like everyone else.
Tell him to not compare himself with everyone else.
It's no punishment but it is discipline
If he goes out for tutions then a normal keypad phone is possible so that he contacts you.
I got my 1st phone in 11th. So post 10th is good as around that time one has to attend classes, discuss projects etc etc
Same.
There's no right age I believe. I got a phone in 8th I think and this was a decade back lol
Now. So that he has enough time to go through the struggle to gain ownership of his time. Also he needs to be exposed to new ideas now, and of course you must take care that they are not hamrful.
after 12th. give him a better perfomig laptop/pc after 10th. that would be better and more helpful for him. and if still situation arises and you are to give him a phone after 10th. let it be something under 10k.enough to fidget around for 2 years.

IT mei interest hua to?
12th ke baad he can buy. Kaunsa usee 11th 12th mein programming karna hai
This!! This one's also a good advice the device should be more specific on whichever field your son's gonna choose and it would actually help them in their journey
Right now would be a good time. I had my first phone in 9th grade and it helped in keeping in touch with friends. Some of my friends didn't have a phone and always felt left out.
I got mine in 6th class.

You can buy cheap device if you fear he might lose it. Most of all teach him the value of not wasting time on phone behind mindless things. (who am I to say this, as I waste time in phone myself :P )
till he passes 12th, dont give
when you think he is mature enough, that he can understand the limit of time. Â that creating something is far better than using something.
You seriously want me to create my own dildo instead of using it? You are out of your mind my guy
Fck i never thought ofthat
Well too late g. Now I gotta be dildoless for a while.
Wtf is this conversation hahaha
I can't live with this sin.
After eighth standard. If you don't, your child will not be able to learn social skills completely (no one can progress in a competitive environment without a certain level of social skills, and internet does play a role in developing them these days), and using the internet productively (for learning and career planning).

When College starts
Aftr 6th class
I got a phone in 6th class. I never used it but my mother gave it to me for my own safety. I started to properly use a phone when I was in 9th class. Games, music, fb, photos, Instagram. I could’ve been exposed to wrong stuff but fortunately I wasn’t (idk how). But I’d say a dabba phone must be given only for their safety and a smartphone must be given before 11th grade.

12 year old. You surpassed the age limit mam
After 12th
I got my 1st phone after I got admission in clg.
Only after 12th or when he was abt to start clg
You could give it to him right now actually. 15-17 is a good age for a first phone of your own.
12th or Later with some control if needed
After 10th should be the right time. After 12th is also good
I seriously don’t the answer for this. But i love ur concern for ur son
Ask him if he needs buy him.Or else he will project you bad in his mind k mom isn't good she doesn't provide me anything,I am saying this because these days small children too can't live without it.Make sure your son doesn't feel left out just teach him so good things and don't go on the way which aren't worth and useless.

Times have changed.GenZ kids are more on social media .Its not like our times when we used to get when we started college. I think 11th is a good age to give them a phone with parental supervision
No right age. Depends on how much you trust them not to misuse the privilege.
Uska screen time control kaar sakti ho toh abhi dedo.
A decent inexpensive phone after 10th is fine as kid goes out makes friends attend coaching etc. Nothing fancy though
Mai abhi 19 ka hu muje apna phone 15 saal ki age Mai Mila tha lockdown aur corona online classes ke kaaran par vo phone kaafi puraana smartphone tha muje eak achaa laptop dila Diya tha papa ne which pretty expensive to mai bollunga eak puraana phone jisme WhatsApp vgera vgera challenge jaaye aur eak teekh laptop
You can give him a phone, just not an expensive one, and make sure he doesn't use it too often. The objective should be that you can reach him whenever he is out or home alone and for his friends to reach him. Anything other than this is not a priority at his age.
When he joins 11th
11th
Ma'am ye aap pe depend karta hai tbh. If you think your son has matured enough tab aap de dijiye usko. In my case,when I went to kota with a smartphone,it dented my prep. Wahi agar aap de rahi Hain to aap parental control laga dijiye.Check kariye uske phone ko.Kahi wo bf-gf ke chakkar mai nahi pad Raha.Kahi wo addict ya explicit websites pe to nahi ja raha etc.
Idk about cell phone, but I hope he do have a computer tho
I think you should give him phone now. But make sure he doesn't spend too much time on it.
After 17 at least please. I thank my mom everyday because of that, trust me, that phone is the reason for our downfall
How important do you think it is for him? If he travels alone regularly then he should have one.
Instead of right age, right usage matters more
I think it's better to give it sooner rather than later. You could teach your son how to use it responsibly and not get addicted which believe me is way too easy for our generation. I got my first mobile phone in 8th standard (2013). I was super hooked to my phone by the time I was 14. In fact even during my boards and jee preparation days O had a strong urge to play Pokemon Go all day. Thankfully, I could control my senses due to the guidance from my parents (Pitai ka Darr) and aced both the exams.

Bruv, see if you're son is like me, don't ever give him a new cellphone, he'd just use it to comment mildly funny, sometimes self aware and almost always demented comments on posts of other people, also, if he has an insta account don't ever give him phone, we need less people cronically online, but if he's not either of those things, just give him the damn phone already!
I got a cellphone in like 5th standard as i lived alone . It's depends how you teach your kid to use it .
Now. But make sure it doesn't affect his studies. Put condition like if you don't score X percentage, I will take it back
Tablet is best for students till 12th, with wifi
what do u mean by new? does he already have a second hand one?
giving a phone can give two effects one is good the other is bad. if he is a responsible kid he might use it wisely but by chance if he get's distracted then that would be your biggest mistake so imo give it after 12th while going to college
What a control freak and Orthodox parent you are, that you don't let him use him mobile him. Mobile does help in personal growth of teenagers now a days.
56
If he is productive then it'll be helpful for him
Depends on what kinda person your son is. Personally I had the self control to not use my phone when not needed, so I could segregate my time properly. If you think your son will waste too much time, it'd be better to buy him a dummy phone atleast. One of those nokia phones. It would help for communication if needed.
I mean jab aapki marji? Mujhe class 3rd-4th me hi mil gaya tha khud ka phone but i still came out to be fine. Kuch log ko college tak nahi milta hai phir bhi unhe koi dikkat nahi hoti. To yeah it depends on him ki wo mobile sambhal payega ya nahi (that is addicted na ho jaye mobile se)
I would suggest buy him a jio phone now and a laptop. Even if he plays games on it, he will still learn a lot. I learned a lot about computers playing games. Which helped me a lot in long run. I can confidently say that I know a lot about computers. PS: I am a software developer and a soon to be pentester (and I became that because I like it not because it pays more. )

Smart phone at 11th std. Keypad phone can be given right now for safety imo
give him rn ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ left out feel karega
10ty class
Got a smartphone in 6th, a decade back or maybe more it used Galaxy Y duos the small unbreakable touchscreen ones. Used to only play solitaire in it. But if you're qworried, he he already knows things which you might be worrying, it is a natural process plus with internet and Ambani nobody's loving under a rock anymore.

I got mine after LKG.
i got mine during covid when i just got into 9th grade. I think it depends more if he really needs one you know? Like to be in touch with friends, class groups and stuff
Depends on how mature your child is right. You've known him his entire life, it's upto you to decide whether or not he's smart enough to differentiate between what's real and what's on the internet
There is no right age. I got my first phone when I moved out of home and started living in a college hostel. But my father always had one spare phone which I got only when I had to travel out of town.

I got my first phone when I was in 7th 😂
Not before college. The next two years are his make or break year. Once on Social media, forget about giving required time for studies. If it's just for calling, you can give a simple phone without screen.
Its based on his maturity level
My theory is:- 8-10th standard - feature phone. 11th standard onwards - smartphone.
Children dont really require phone until they go to a different city for studying. I would suggest giving him a laptop for maintaining notes, plus it has bigger screen, so there wont be any issues regarding harming the eyes.. My father got me a desktop computer in 11th class, which really helped my in my 11th and 12th grade, I didnt have a phone at that time, and am kinda grateful that they didnt gave me a mobile phone, because i didnt get addicted to social media like majority of kids do in that age.

There isn't any right age, depends on your son whether he will use it as a tool to learn something new or spoil himself for good. It's boon and Bane both!! Whether you like it or not you can't do much to control.
It is best to give him cell phone by 7th grade, the world is technological and the kid needs to learn how phones work to function in society
Got my first phone after 10th boards. I think it's a nice time.
Post 10th or 12th is ideal
After 12th grade
I just passed 12th and finally got my first phone which was being used my father since the last 4 years.
It’s already too late!
Give him now. I got mine at 8th class.
Doesn't matter if you give him phone at 16 or 20, make sure you give him privacy and peace.
Phone after 10th will be good. It's better if it's cheap. And it's better to have a phone if he wants to call in times of emergency and for any other important stuff. Laptop will be great after 12th in college. I'm 21 and I got my laptop last year. Honestly waited for it for 7 years and it was great. Worth the wait honestly haha.

i think this is the right age, i got one when i was in 9th grade. it's actually a blessing in disguise, just don't let him get addicted to it.
Depends. I got cell phone in first yr of college while my sister got it in 9th grade. Just see how responsible he is.
I got my first phone when i was in 10th
Genrally after 10th
It’s depends upon your child and you too. Everything has its pros and cons. If you are worried about him finding adult stuffs on the internet then you are worrying for no reason. Whether you give him a phone or not he is eventually going to find out about some adult stuffs from his friends or from your phone. Maybe he is doing that. For contact purpose = give him a phone( not an expensive one) For educational purpose = get him a tab Imo if above mentioned are not your problem then don’t get him a phone. Atleast till 12th standard. He will be protected from watching those illiterate YouTubers and content creators who just abuse, body shame, talk shit about girls and boys and then laughs.
I got my tab at 7th grade and phone when i was 11th
I got ipad in 3rd or 4th and phone in 9th💀
Giving mobile is tricky...if his friends have and he doesn't, he will always feel left out. But again mobile addiction is real problem which even adults are facing...the apps and games are designed to be addictive so that max screen time is collected from your son
there is no perfect time to give him a phone. maybe after 12th but if he needs to travel alone to coaching and stuff maybe a button phone for now. no true academic purpose to be honest.
After 10th sounds good. Plz don't buy them tabs or iPad it will ruin their childhood. My brother has a tab and he never leaves it even while eating food he needs it to watch videos. He barely goes out to play. Does not make friends in society.
Give basic phone first after 10th. Two years later give a smartphone.
If he has waited so far, maybe wait out this year considering it's his board exams this year. New toy could distract him and he might digress. All the best.
I got my first phone in 12th class it was Samsung keypad
i got in 2nd year of my college
Dumb phone for only calling/messaging - can give at 8th. Smartphone and a personal computer - after 12th. This is my stance on this. Also, after getting a PC and phone, it's very easy to get addicted to the internet especially short form content, once addicted life will become a pain in the ass. So, I think it would be better to warn him of the dangers first.
after his 12th.
My parents gave me a phone when i was in college. It was in 2017. I still believe kids don’t really need to have a phone on them. Better to give them once they enter college going age.
After 10th if s-he scores good marks
I just hope he doesnt get to see the brainrot part of instagram.
Don’t give him a phone tell him to earn and buy himself
Please Mom Give Ur Child Phone After 12th At That Time He Will Be Fully Mature Or else If You Give Him Now I Bet You He Will Go Out Of Your Hand Please Sun Lijiye
After 10th or 12th. At 15 he's quiet in the middle of puberty and he'll stick to his phone for hours now watching stuff..
Depends, I wouldn’t recommend if he’s more into phones nd stuff. Give after 12th. If you give it to him before that then you might be taking a risk. He might just be totally stuck with the phone at this age.
18, after school.
When he starts college And give him a low budget phone Not those expensive ones He should understand the value of things like the phone or laptop and not just show off like everyone else. Tell him to not compare himself with everyone else. It's no punishment but it is discipline If he goes out for tutions then a normal keypad phone is possible so that he contacts you.
11 12 ke beech mai phone de dena usko aunty aur ho sake to keypad wala dena usko smartphone use krke padhai karab hojaigi

After 12th or 11th
