It is a well known fact that most children aren't mature enough to take care of personal items properly. That's part of what makes them kids. They will lose phones, drop phones, soak phones in liquid, and break phones. Assume it will happen and be prepared for it.

Buying expensive phones for a child is not advisable because of the above. There are a ton of good inexpensive phones that run relatively new, secure versions of their operating systems aren't frustrating to use, and don't look "uncool" to children. It is more advisable to go for phones that can be easily replaced without you breaking the bank.

When buying a smart watch for your child, you don't need most features that can be found in high end watches, like headphone jack, expandable storage, wireless charging, IP rating and so many other features. In the not-too-distant past, buying a mid-range watch meant a woefully out-of-date operating system and sluggish performance straight out of the box, but these days you can find a mid-range watch that performs as well as high end ones.

Most parents think negotiating with their child is unnecessary and silly. But negotiation is a great way for your child to step into this new responsibility without you "over-parenting."

When first cell phones come with negotiations where the rules and responsibilities are clearly stated, young people are more likely to learn how to handle them responsibly.

If you ask your kids what they think the rules should be, and negotiate until you’re happy, they will “own” those rules and would be willing to follow the rules.
