@jason_falls1 yeah!! you are right...

Richard Gao · Answer

I think any age is ok. It just matters how you control their internet usage. A 3 year old watching teletubbies on youtube kids is technically using the internet.

I think the biggest danger is interactions with other people rather than content. So it also depends on how you've taught your children about stranger danger and how to deal with it online.

@richard_gao2 I cannot fully agree with your opinion. as a parent of a 3-year-old daughter, like strangers, content and also age is very important...

Jason Falls · Answer

I think in current time 13 to 14 years is good to handle from good and bad things of internet.
