Mildly chuffed that I can’t find recommendations for practical tips for which phone to get for a young kid (6-7).
All I can find is moral panic narrative stuff about not getting your kid a phone and recommendations for super locked down, deliberately crippled Orwell phones. I am looking for stuff like, “This one is cheap and rugged and they can operate it with their tiny hands” not “This one doesn’t have a browser and you can remotely activate the camera to spy on your child, if you’re insistent on raising a damaged child who had a phone too early.”
@pganssle chuffed or chafed?
@mahmoud Wow. I feel like “chuffed” has “nonplussed syndrome”, in that it sounds like it means the exact opposite of what it means.
@mahmoud I’m bemused and nonplussed to learn the true meaning of chuffed.
@pganssle That's super frustrating. We felt the same pushback with screens and mostly people without kids telling us things they read.
If you find something, I'd love to know, too. Our first-grader turns 7 in a few weeks, and we are at least a year out, but it comes quickly.
