Before you read this article, you can read this article first, "Why @BCH_LOVER is Wrong". This article of him is his direct reply on my article last night which is "Reasons Why I Don't Let My Kids Hold Phones".
In my article last night, I stated the reasons why I won't let my kids hold phones yet and that are to avoid their eyes or mind getting affected with the phone's radiation just like what had happened to my only daughter Xandra. Yeah, I admitted that I had been irresponsible in this part where I let them play on my mobile phone before but leads her to have that problem but it was solved already and I learned a lesson from it. (It was year 2016 that Xandra had begin to have an eye problem. I'm glad that it is back to normal again after restricting them to hold phones and of course by massaging her eyebrows as what the elders had taught us.)
With the second reason, which is the addiction that I had observed from my nephew. I don't want my kids to hold phone so they won't get addicted to mobile games and that they can focus to their studies specially now that the face to face classes have start already.
These two are what I mentioned last night but there are still other reasons why I don't want them to hold mobile phone yet. It's to let them be engage in outdoor activities like playing with other kids and have fun. Be engage with indoor activities like playing blocks, playing with their toys and coloring their coloring books.
But even if I don't let them hold phone, there are still time that they watch some YouTube videos but it's me who hold the phone so I can made sure that what they watch suits to their age and I can also monitor the time that they spent in mobile phones. Some times, they will watch me while I am browsing the earning sites and apps that I have joined. There were times that they are curious on what those tools that they saw in every applications that I visit and I gladly replied to them so they will also know what are those.
Now, this is in response to his article.
Why @BCH_LOVER is wrong?
When I first read the title, I was having questions in my mind why I'm wrong?Why I am wrong in not letting my kids hold phones?
I believe we "parents" have different rules set for our kids. We have different ways on how we will introduce gadgets to kids and when is the time that we will let them get a hold of those.
When he disagree for not letting kids hold phones because there are so many reasons why kids needs to start early to gadget, I respect his idea about that but it doesn't mean that I'm wrong for not letting my kids hold phones.
I set rules and ways in what I think are good for my children. If he let his son start to devices as early as 5 then it his way. But mine will be different because I have reasons why and I think those are good for my kids especially now that they are starting to have their face to face class again. Inorder to let them be focus in their studies, I must not let them hold phones since they are still in primary level.
There are so many benefits in starting the kids early on devices as he said on his article and I agree to those points that he tackled but there are also disadvantages in exposing kids to gadgets especially if there's no proper guidance from parents.
Me and my partner both agreed not to let kids hold phones yet as early as these ages of them. For now kids are taught some basic things that needs to be done at home. As what my partner said, before letting them have mobile phones, the kids must be responsible first at home. They should know how to fix their things, clean the messed they create, do washing the plates, and other things that they can do at home as a youngsters. They need to be responsible in little things first before they will be exposed to some gadgets so that when they grow up or when they are on secondary level already, even if they will have phones they also know what they have to do at home.
These are our thoughts and reasons in not letting kids hold phones and each parent have their different thoughts about it. I hope you understand our reasons for doing it to our kids as I respect yours.
This will be all for today! Happy 5th day of September.

I hope my article wasn't perceived as an attack or judgement on your parenting. It wasn't meant as such. Ofcourse each parent should raise their kids how they see fit (to a point) and so should you. It also matters a lot where you are geographically, and what your environment is like around you. For me I live in a low-income social neighborhood and the kids I see outside aren't the kind of kids I want my son to hang out with. i also am lucky enough to have a kid with high sense of responsibility, quick to help with chores and such. So please, if you perceived my article as an attack on you or your ways I apologize, it was not intended as such.
