We have discovered what kids do on their phones and how much parents typically spend on buying a phone for their child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much noise around childhood obesity, behavioral issues and cyber bullying linked to childrens\u2019 phone habits; are parents closely monitoring their child&#8217;s phone usage?
