Owning your own smartphone or tablet is a normal part of life for Australian children of all ages according to new research.
The latest Australian Child Health Poll of 1977 adults with 3797 children has found that almost all Australian teenagers, two-thirds of primary school-aged children and one-third of preschoolers now own their own tablet or smartphone.
As well as owning their own device, three in four teenagers, and one in six primary school-aged children, have their own social media accounts despite the fact that most social media platforms require users to be 13 years or older.
