When Should You Get Your Kid a Cell Phone?

My daughter got her first mobile phone in seventh grade (after many lobbying, complaints, beggars, quarrels). Her husband and I are a good idea from a safety point of view as she goes home from school by public transport.

Without text, the phone could not take pictures, she told me to allow minutes, and we once removed it from her (which is very effective) . The next flashing child, she is 4 or 4 years old. He received a sixth grade phone mainly for the same reason.

However, technology evolves, bringing about the function of text and photos as well as games. By that time our daughter became a text message ninja and we upgraded our unlimited text plan (highly sensible movement) and alternative insurance (ibid).

Many parents are fighting for children's cell phone problems. What is the age of children's mobile phones? What is the function according to age? Smartphones that have the ability to download applications (not to mention additional data plans!)

Can they trust the text message in the classroom, the obstruction of the conversation, the text, the picture, the video function not to use responsibly (not harassing others or harassing others)?

Do they really need smart phones, their music equipments, portable movies and gaming machines, and Internet portals?

Do they need to be able to provide their location information to their friends (perhaps to others), as allowed by some new applications?

Do you want to add all costs of the new data plan? (Make sure they lose their temperament when announcing that their new smartphone has fallen to the toilet ...)

Remember: When you carry your cell phone today, you will be given strong communication and production tools. They can widely distribute texts, pictures and videos that can be uploaded to websites. They can play their status and place. They can download everything from all over the world. If you think that the technical spirit of your child is stronger than they are wise to use it, pay attention to the gap. The times may have changed, but child rearing has not changed. We are still parents. Our job is to say "No, not yet".

If a child should take a cell phone, it is ultimately the parent's decision. Children want to play games on their mobile phones and want to get on with. Parents want children to have a secure mobile phone. When you give your child a mobile phone, you are offering them portable computers with mobile Internet capabilities. Before purchasing, let's learn about the function of mobile phones. It is very important to discuss privacy, inappropriate text / photos, security issues. For parents who need special security features, there is a special phone designed for children.

The children and the mobile phone keep hand in hand. As parents of a teenager, you know how difficult it is to separate him or her from the phone. This is a cell phone that can be your best friend. By offering a prepaid phone to your child, you will regain a fixed phone. Not only can you use your own cell phone, you do not need to listen to the constant embarrassment of your child. When the phone was first developed, they were huge and troublesome. They are hard to use and usually fall. Today, the phone is smooth and delicate, you barely notice them, but the features are amazing. Some people say mobile phones become more complex as cell phones become more sophisticated. Especially if you have big hands, you may go mad if you use small screens or buttons.

I already said that children should have a mobile phone, so if you do not consider allowing your child to use a cell phone, I may have changed my mind now Hmm. There are many objections, such as distracting, wasting time, being used only for games, but I still think that you should let the child use the phone, but if you do not follow it, make a rule is needed. Then there should be some punishment. You can teach children how to take responsibility by giving mobile phones. This is a good way to communicate in an emergency and is very useful. Giving a cell phone to your child will not only benefit your child but will also benefit your parents!
