In a recent post on the virtual platform X, Jimena Barón shared a sincere reflection on the use of cell phones in children, specifically about her son Momo, who is 11 years old. The publication, which quickly caused comments and reactions, revealed an important conversation between mother and son about the possibility of Momo having his own mobile phone.

The actress began her message with a close and relaxed tone, letting it be known that the topic had come up in an everyday conversation with her son. “Yesterday we had this talk with Momo. 11 years old, many friends already with cell phones and WhatsApp”, the artist recounted. In the post, she explained that Momo had asked her for a cell phone with WhatsApp, but she decided to give him a clear and responsible answer.

J Mena shares in a post that she had a conversation with Momo, her 11-year-old son, about the use of the cell phone and WhatsApp. She explains that she told him the cell phone is for when he has the necessary independence to communicate and leave her at ease as a mother. She still doesn't consider Momo to have that independence, so it's not necessary. They also discussed the dangers of losing control in chats and contacts. Momo understood, and they are seeing how the situation develops. The post responds to a question from Osvaldo Bazán about the appropriate age to give a cell phone to children.

The singer assured that for the moment she didn't see it necessary for her son to have a cell phone, explaining that the use of this digital tool was only justified when he had greater independence. “I told him that the cell phone with WhatsApp is for when he has an independence that justifies needing to communicate through there and puts me at ease as a mom”, Jimena detailed, acknowledging that, despite social pressure, she still didn't see the need for Momo to have a mobile phone.

Additionally, Jimena took the opportunity to reflect on the dangers associated with the use of cell phones at an early age, especially the risks of losing control over chats and direct contacts caused on platforms like WhatsApp. The singer highlighted the importance of educating and being aware of the dangers of technology, something that Momo managed to understand. “We also talked about the dangers of losing control regarding chats and direct contacts. He understood it”, she wrote.
