How to replace a phone for a child

Some gadgets can replace a child's smartphone.

A smartwatch with GPS can help you if it's important for you to keep in touch with your child.

A push-button telephone, sometimes without a screen, so that the child does not damage his eyesight.

MP3 player or for audiobooks and favorite music.

If you don't want to teach your child to use a smartphone, these gadgets may come in handy.

However, in order for a child to no longer want to be glued to a smartphone, there must be other interests and entertainment.

For example, it is useful for children to go to clubs: dancing, drawing, sports.

You can also buy everything you need for a hobby at home: books, sketchbooks, paints, plasticine, mosaics.
