CBS Speaks to TickTalk About Kids Smart Watches Being Safer & Smarter Alternatives to Cell Phones

If you have school grade children, you’re familiar with the constant negotiations of giving them a cell phone. As our kids head into a new school year, Kimberly McBroom of CBS WDBJ7 News spoke to us about how kids smartwatch phones are a great compromise to a cell phone for kids. 

“One of the best things about a wearable [kids watch phone] is that it gives kids a safer cell phone alternative--something that’ll give parents peace of mind knowing they can always connect with their children, as well as know that they’re safe,” says TickTalk.

Another benefit of kids tracking watches (especially as our littles go back to school), is that they are actually designed for kids. Unlike smartphones, our kids smartwatches have no internet, games, or social media, allowing kids to develop a healthy relationship with screens without having to face any of the dangers. 

“This was created specifically for kids to solve the issue of family connection in the digital age. [That] is something we feel strongly about - that the technology our kids are using is benefiting them. It shouldn’t be exploiting them or be another thing parents have to worry about,” says TickTalk.
