There are thousands of apps that start at the age 2 or 3 range, including the PJ Masks Time to Be a Hero, a popular series that teaches kids important social skills, such as sharing and taking turns. You can find a few apps on the market with a recommended age as young as 6 months, such as MiniPiano (a simple 14-note keyboard app). “What’s most important is that parents be their child’s ‘media mentor.’ That means teaching them how to use it as a tool to create, connect and learn,” the AAP has said. While they recognize that digital media can play a part in children's development as young as 18 months, they recommend an emphasis on creative, unplugged play for babies and toddlers, and a balance of screen time and other activities for older children. That same year, the American Academy of Pediatrics released guidelines on children's smartphone, app and digital media use. For a social media account, the average age was 11.4. In 2016, TechCrunch reported that the average age for kids to get a smartphone was 10.3 years. We've done some investigating to help you navigate the tricky world of smartphones, tablets and app use.

It goes without saying that smartphones and apps have become an integral part of our everyday lives.
