Cell Phones and Kids

Sit at any parenting group or middle school pick up and you will hear this questions, "When should I get my kid a cell phone?"   PBS recently addressed this question, in an article titled, When Should You Get Your Kid a Cell Phone.

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.
