I started off saying I would never let my kids play on my phone and I didn't want them to have any smart toys. Well that went out the window when my son's therapists used their phones during his OT, PT and ST sessions. Now I let him play a couple games on my phone, mainly to help with his speech. But our kids are not getting phones until 14-15 and they will be very limited

Tip number 1: Don’t get your children smartphones. They’ll be just fine with flip phones.
