When should give you to your child a cell phone: councils for the parents

"Of which age my child like his own cell phone?” C' is a question which is put by many parents who n' were ever posed through l' history. The mobile phones are an astonishing phenomenon. They are so accessible and they have so much functionalities and functions. Almost all the adults have one and almost each child wants one. According to EnviroSmart, an estimate from 250 to 300.000.000 mobile phones of use in the United States

* I suppose that some d' between them are used by the children under l' 18 years age. Then, which is the answer? When the children are enough old to have their own cell phone? When mothers and fathers with their children l' access to the world with your range? When the children should be in measurement of telephone and the text with their friends constantly of the day or of night? When are they rather responsible? Unfortunately, it n' do not exist clear answer. Contrary to drive a car, to vote, or it n' yes no limit d' lawful age for drinking or requirement. Parse quid' it is completely with parents and children who beg and to plead with the answer of everyone could be, and is radically different. All the reasoning of the parents behind this answer will be also varied.

For my own children have cell phones, I know that c' was a little too quickly with d' other parents whose young children raised revision telephones. J' thought quid' it was ridiculous quid' a child d' school age would be authorized to have their own telephone. J' jumped to the conclusion that l' child was spoiled, that the relative was weak, and because I n' do not have a cell phone Justus' so that I am almost 30 when the children would not have. But as I said, j' was too prompt to judge.

As all the remainder, my own parents evolved/moved with time. My children have 16, 14 and 10 and they have each one their own mobile phone.
They are not spoiled. I am not weak. I had suddenly realized, a child at one time, which was really more adapted to ME for them d' to have their own mobile phone. All started when the work of my husband delivered a cell phone to him. Because we are in a contract, we had two telephones, but only one was necessary some. My oldest son, rises of sixth year with l' time, was l' happy recipient of l' telephone extension. It was in my favors nevertheless, and him and its young S œ our was close d' one mile foot at the house after l' school each day.

Now, it could m' to call on my way, and I would like to know quid' they were in safety. Once quid' it obtained on the telephone, j' started to carry out benefit. It could go to play with the children neighbor and I could l' to call when the dinner was ready. It could hang in the house d' a friend and j' could come into contact with him when I wanted. C' was incredible! J' noticed that the parents seem to hesitate to give their first child d' a cell phone. When their first child has a telephone and they realize how much it is easy, then the next child is more likely to receive.

For example, I n' would ever have given my elder d' a telephone 10 years. But now that I am with l' ease with my older children carried out it seems logical quid' they have. Manufacturers’ cell phones to include/understand the convenience for the parents whose children have cell phones. Marketers collected on the characteristics that the parents seeking a protection, the convenience and parental control. Certain telephones are marketed with children as young as five years. How the parents to decide when it is time for their children of their own telephone? Does one have to allow the media and the marketers to determine what is good for our family? Since l' five years age is l' place where some aim at the telephones is that l' ideal age? How the young people are too young? My council as a relative is to follow your instinct and your own choice as regards good for you and your children. If your five years adult and sufficiently person in charge for a telephone? You only can decide some. However, here some things to be considered at the time of this decision.

• can you imagine that? It yes several good markets, pay-has-you-go options for the mobile phones. C' is the best place to start. To obtain a contract with a supplier of telephone can be expensive, especially if the telephone is lost, broken or cleaned in the washing machine. (We learned with the hard one!)
• is it practices for you? There At it of the moments when you want a catch of your child and cannot obtain? Are you the sandpapering of the area, calling the other parents, or even the cell phones of your child friends try to reach them?
• is it in their interest? It yes of the moments when the young person was by itself ready for l' school or in residence. Us n' let us not have a land telephone of line; it was thus important for me of him a way of joining me, his/her father or his grandparents. I feel surer by knowing quid' they can call or text to announce to me how it is or to ask me questions. Once the decision to give to your child of their own cell phone and that you determined the type of telephone to buy, it yes things to be considered a little more. Which are the rules and the limits of these telephones? Put them at the beginning will be useful to quid' measurement; they age and more independent. Here some things to be kept with l' spirit:
• The telephone really. They can be selected and be able to transport it, but you are the only one to pay the invoice. You have the right and the responsibility for the telephone and d' to eliminate the restrictions and directives. You have the right of their conversations, texts and photographs to be checked.
• The telephone is a privilege, not a right. The privileges can be withdrawn for bad behavior, of the weak notes, the lack of respect, or anything else. C' is a formidable tool for the discipline. However, once j' carried out how much it is convenient for me, I am usually more than ready to return if the punishment is finished!
• Be a support of l' school concerning the rules of l' electronics. The cell phones are often prohibited in the schools, but when they are low and out of sight, it n' yes no problem. Resist l' envy text or d' to call your child during the school day. When l' one of my children m' a text gave during the day to tell me quid' it does not feel good, instead of me immediately come them to collect, j' learned how to point out d' to them; to go to l' nurse and it goes m' to call. Not to encourage them with enfreindre rules.
• Accepter that your child will break or lose the telephone, especially when it is young. You have a protection plan. J' have usually an old cell phone which trails that we can transfer if necessary. Certain parents buy insurances. Right too not upset when bad things arrive at the telephones. I believe that my son four destroyed these last years.
• Enseignez them the telephone and l' label texts. You ensure quid' they include/understand the dangers of l' intimidation and sextons. Clear directives for the moment d' to use the telephone and not the telephone. For example, not of telephone to the table, while leading, while in the class, while having time in family.

• You do not excuse a decision. J' glances defensive and obstructed too many by d' other parents. If you want a telephone to give a small child or to maintain it Justus' with this quid' they buy their own telephone, you have your reasons. Do not leave the other parents make you feel l' insecurity about your decisions. When is it necessary your child a cell phone? Give to your child a cell phone when you are ready for them d' to have. L' age and the circumstances will be different in each family and can even be different for each child within the same family. Only you, as a relative can make this decision. Once this decision took root.

Do not leave the heinous glances of the other parents who have several decisions with your swing. Only, you know what is better for your child. Only, you know when their mobile phone should be given.
