Fully agree!
My business recruits into Social Media agencies; my 2 nieces both have phones now, both from the ages of 11 (eldest is 15 now); they're both VERY active with lots of after school activities (sports, music, choir etc) and their high school is the one their father teaches at, 15miles away from home. So, when lifts are needed or plans change, a quick call/WhatsApp/text message soon keeps their folks, grand folks and myself (if I'm needed for one of the school runs as I run my business from home) up to speed etc
I'm 39, I baulked when they asked for phones, even though I've always got a top of the range Android handset on me. However, it's 2017, not 1987. Long gone have the days with an emergency 10p for the public phone etc!
Like everything else, all in moderation and the sooner they learn their responsibilities around these phones (and the dangers of the cockwombles out there) the better!
