Alesha Dixon has taken a strong stance against allowing her daughters, Azura and Anaya, to have cell phones, emphasizing her commitment to delaying their access to technology for as long as possible. In a recent interview, she expressed that she feels no guilt in refusing her eldest daughter's requests for a mobile device, stating, "If she doesn’t need a phone then why is she having one?" While acknowledging that some parents may need to give their children phones for safety reasons, Dixon believes her family's circumstances allow her to maintain this boundary. She also shared her concerns about the challenges of navigating the digital landscape as her children grow older, admitting that she feels apprehensive about the impact of social media on their lives. Additionally, she has made it clear that she will not encourage her daughters to enter the entertainment industry until they are emotionally ready. Dixon's views reflect a broader parenting discussion about the appropriate age for children to have smartphones and the associated implications for their wellbeing.
