Cristiano Ronaldo is taking steps to make sure his children have restricted access to technology amid fears over the younger generation's relationship with devices.
Ronaldo, whose eldest son is named Cristiano Junior, recently posted a heartwarming picture of the pair training during the winter break, captioned: "Present and future."
Cristiano Jnr, currently 11 years old, has recently been asking for his first mobile phone as he approaches his teenage years, and the Manchester United great is wary of children being too exposed to technology.
Speaking at Soccer's Top Scorer of All Time award in Dubai, Ronaldo said: "Definitely it (technology) helps a lot. It helped me and the people here, all the world, and I think we have to take advantage of that but we shouldn’t be obsessed with it.
"For example, I can give you a small impression. My oldest child is going to be 12 years old soon and he asks me every time, 'Daddy, can I have a phone, can I have a phone, can I have a phone.'
"I say to him, 'Cristiano, you have time.'
"I know as well that this young generation are one step ahead of their age so I agree that we have to take advantage of that but not to be obsessed about technology.
"Give them but with a period of time, not give them all the time. I think that’s the main point here."
