Safe Phones Kids Can Wear

207: Safe Phones Kids Can Wear

You probably don’t want your elementary-age child to have a phone – but there are times you wish you could contact them – and that is where safe phones that kids can wear ie watches are such a good option.

My sister, Lynne Robinson, bought one for her daughter and she answers these questions plus more:

  • Why did you get this watch?
  • How useful has it been?
  • What can the kids do on the watch?
  • What can’t they do?
  • Who can children call / text?

Currently (Nov 2022) the watch is on sale, but you can find all the info on costs here
