Kids as young as 11 are getting smartphones, but research shows it may be harmful to their health.

Children who get smartphones before age 12 are at higher risk for depression, obesity, and insufficient sleep.

Experts suggest treating the decision to give kids a smartphone as one with health implications, like wearing a helmet or sunscreen.

One expert suggests considering giving a child a smartphone once they reach high school.

Setting tech guidelines for the whole family is a smart idea, even if your child already has a smartphone.
