Wrong verb?
Mis hijos no tendrán móvil ________ 13 años.My children won't have a mobile phone before they turn 13.Hi, i thought the verb cumplir (not tener) means to turn an age. Thanks, Shirley.
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using antes de que/después de que with indicative or subjunctive in Spanish (subordinate time clauses) (Spain)"

Hola Shirley
Yes, to be very very accurate, "cumplir" is "to turn" when talking about age, and "are" would be more precise for the general "tener".
Gracias y saludos
