SUPPORTING CHILDREN AT DIFFERENT AGES WITH THEIR USE OF TECHNOLOGY  
SOURCE: NSPCC

There are no exact rules about the right age to give your child access to technology. Every child’s different and will mature in their own time. Parents are making choices about whether and when to grant greater independence and freedom.

Whether you’re handing down an old device or buying your child a new bit of tech, it’s important to think about:

• The age you give your children their own device.

• The access your child has to online platforms and services.

NSPCC regularly speak to children and their families about access to technology and consider this alongside what evidence tells them  about its impact. Click below for some helpful tips to help you determine what’s right for your child in terms of tech ownership and usage throughout childhood.
