This article gave a list of questions to ask yourself before you hand a child a cell phone. It is important to realize the communication power you are giving your child. MASK Matters has created a cell phone contract, which parents may want to use before they give their son or daughter a cell phone. See the contract at their web site MASK Matters.
Cell phone have become a "must have" for kids, but boundaries and guidelines created between parents and kids is a "must have" as well.
