Why kids should have phones
Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat ,Facebook and YouTube are all platforms that you can access on what? Here’s another clue…Nearly all adults have these devices but unfortunately most kids DON’T which is terrible because WE NEED THEM! Today I will be persuading you that all kids should have phones. Man.. I should have a phone so that I can post my face all over Instagram! Phones teach kids responsibility and they can help us communicate and keep safe. Apps also educate and entertain children… and who doesn’t want that!
Paragraph one: Apps
My happy place! Well, at least they would be if I had a phone! Adults have phones with an array of apps on them to make their lives easier, more entertaining, convenient and safe. For example, internet banking allows them to check their bank accounts, pay bills, transfer money and budget for things and Uber Eats allows them to order food to their chosen destination whenever they feel peckish. Oh… and I can’t forget Facebook, Twitter or Instagram which provide adults with a way to communicate and share their ideas and experiences with others. But why should adults get to have all the fun and benefits of this great technological device? What about us,........ Don’t we matter too? There are many apps that are made for children and we want to have the chance to enjoy these. There are apps for entertainment such as: Netflix, and YouTube, educational apps such as: Kahoot, crossword puzzles, Sudoku and Subway Surfers……………... of course ! There are too many to list but you get the idea, right? Come on parents! Don’t punish us and keep us in the dark ages. Let us in on the fun!
Paragraph two: communication
Secondly, phones are beneficial for children as they help them to communicate and keep safe. They are useful for contacting parents or other trusted adults whenever you need to. For example, if you are lost for some reason, if you haven’t been picked up from school or an activity or if you want to be picked up from your friend’s house. Teenagers might need a cell phone in the car and in general just in case they breakdown and are far from home or they crash and need to call for help. If you need to check something or ask an important question or remind your parents about something important that is happening at school the next day, a cellphone is a must! I want to challenge my parents to last a day without any mobile devices and see if they could do it!
Paragraph three: teaches responsibility
A cell phone can teach your child responsibility since they have to learn how to take care of it by keeping it charged and in working condition, I could totally do that! You can also use the phone as a tool to teach financial responsibility. Set guidelines for what aspects you will pay for such as texts and apps. set a limit of minutes and texts each month and outline the extras such as ringtones, and backgrounds, that your child has to pay for.
I hope I have successfully persuaded you that kids should have phones. Cell phones help children to communicate, keep safe and learn responsibility. They also help to educate and entertain them. Now all you parents, GO OUT AND BUY YOUR KIDS PHONES!!!!!!
