For Parents - Is Your Child Prepared for their First Phone?

It's a question that so many parents struggle with, balancing the positives, the negatives, the need, cost and so much more. The problem with such a question is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer.

Darren Laur has written a really useful article for parents, within the article he uses the acronym PREPARED which takes away the complexity and allows parents to make decisions based on their own circumstances.:

P - Purpose.
R - Responsibility.
E - Empathy and respect.
P - Perception of risk.
A - Adaptability and resilience.
R - Regulation.
E - Executive functioning.
D - Digital discernment.

The article is a really good read.
