      I think it is good for communication in many situations but I think phones can stop people talking to each others, and that can be really problematic in terms of sharing needs, communicating emotions, and providing and receiving support.

      I think it’s really interesting as I didn’t have a phone until much later. Now you see very young children using IPads! I think they can be a really valuable tool for education and teaching different ways of communicating. However, it can be bad if we think about child safety and protection.
