The Altxa Burua Okondo group has recently been created for some families to reflect on the use of smartphones and propose to their parents that the age to have this device is consolidated for at least 16 years and progressively and accompanied by the child.
In fact, families have expressed concern about the impact of this type of technology on the educational development of children, as well as on the personal and emotional scope.
Specifically, one of the goals of Alxa Burua Okondo members is to reverse the current trend and delay the pressure to buy the first smartphone.
To do so, different paths will be worked out. Firstly, they want to communicate the negative effects of devices with Internet access at an early age.
