Christmas has passed and you finally decided to give into child’s pleas for their very own Smartphone. The phone was bought, and you had fun wrapping it and tucking it under the tree so that you could see the looks of delight on their little face when they ripped into the wrapping paper on Christmas morning. Now that the initial magic of Christmas morning has passed, read on for 5 must-have apps and accessories to keep your family’s newest gadget safe and keep the enjoyment levels up.
Accessory: Phone Case
You want to be sure that your child’s expensive smartphone is protected in every way that you can. That starts with purchasing a durable phone case for the phone, one that is waterproof if at all possible. BodyGuardz cases are durable and come in a variety of different colors and styles for you to choose from.
Accessory: Screen Protectors
A smartphone is a huge investment, so you want to make sure that it is protected as much as possible. You can do that with a quality screen protector. They are easy to find and not terribly expensive. On top of that, they fit into that stocking just right!
Accessory: Ear Buds
A pair of quality earbuds is not only great for the children but great for you as well. If they have ear buds and the Internet, they can listen to their kind of music without driving you insane. In other words, your kids will love the ear buds, and you will save your sanity at the same time.
App: The Web and Social Media Filtering
The world on the Internet is a really scary place these days. So, having a web and social media filtering app on your child’s phone from day one will give you the peace of mind you need that they are protected and not on sites they have no business being on. There are many different apps for every type of smartphone out there, regardless of the brand you choose, to help you control and monitor what your child is doing and seeing online on their smartphone. Install them before you give your child the phone, and you won’t have to worry about your child seeing something they shouldn’t before you install these apps.
App: Games!
Every child loves games and smartphone games are plentiful. From fun games for preschoolers to games tailored towards your high school student, there are plenty to choose from. There are even educational games and sites, that you can download on your child’s smartphone to make their season extra bright.
Giving your child a smartphone was a great Christmas idea. Adding these apps is genius and now you can help other parents as well, by telling them what apps to install when they eventually cave and buy their kids a smartphone next Christmas!
