    my siblings managed to keep their kids away from smartphones until 4th grade. And even that was a struggle.

    sadly it just falls into the camp of ‘everyone else is doing it’. and if your kid isn’t they will be socially ostracized.

      Some kids also get obsessive about phones once they get one, or obsessed with other people’s phones until then.
