Cristiano Ronaldo explained why he (still) doesn't allow his son to own a smartphone, and many parents would do well to understand why and follow his example.
By the way, the famous football player is the father of five children, and the eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., turned 14 years old.
Because he and his girlfriend Georgina want to set a good example for their children, they keep them away from smartphones, and they have an interesting explanation for this.
Despite Ronaldo's immense fame and wealth - amassing over a billion followers on social platforms - the footballer prioritizes instilling values in his children.
"To be completely honest, I will not buy my son a smartphone. I am the athlete who has the most followers on Instagram in the whole world. And my followers very often ask me why I do not allow my son to be on social networks. The reason is that my son created a secret Instagram account in 2020 and in one day he got a million followers," Ronaldo almost said and said that he did not "exclude" him out of jealousy...
"When I found out, I told him to delete his account immediately and now, even though he's 14, he doesn't have a smartphone. I made this decision because I want him to understand the value of hard work, I want him to train hard and reach his potential," explained Ronaldo, who, like all parents, struggles with the "modern era."
"If I give him a phone, it will be harder for him to achieve everything he is capable of. I don't want him to become dependent on technology, so I keep putting off giving him one," the Portuguese star explained.
Many parents on social media expressed their support for Ronaldo's decision.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. is currently playing in the youth ranks of Saudi club Al Nassr, and time will tell if he will follow in his father's footsteps.
Ronaldo is also known to be strict about his children's diet, making sure they avoid sugary drinks and fast food. As someone who takes great care of his body, Ronaldo carefully monitors what his children eat.
