TJ Walker delivers a short, direct advisory to parents: he argues that giving a smartphone to a child before age 12 increases risks (poor sleep, obesity, cognitive problems) and decreases their odds of growing up healthy and successful. He urges parents to delay giving phones — acknowledging kids may resent it now but will appreciate it later.

If you're a parent and you give a cell phone smartphone to your kid before the age of 12, you are essentially decreasing their odds of growing up to be a healthy, successful human being. You're increasing their odds. Poor sleep of obesity, cognitive problems. Why would you do that? Take the phone away. Give it to your kids when they're older. They may hate you now. They'll appreciate it later.
