the cell phone
my kid does not need one hell he is only 9 who is he going to call? C is however been absolutely salivating at the thought of having his own cell phone for about the 3 years now. He knows kids that do indeed have one and have had one since kindergarten but I have placed a unilateral ban which includes the possibility his grandmother purchasing him one until we deem necessary-the teen years or perhaps when extracurricular activities are such that he is in need of a ride or something. C is however slowly trying to take over my cell phone by texting his father & cousin, calling his grandmother etc..the amusing thing is when we are out running errands he is increasingly the one with MY cell phone in his pocket in case HE gets a text or call

Be strong, my friend. Don't do it!!!!! There is NO good reason for a child to carry a cell phone. Many parents will try to make EXCUSES for why they caved to the pressure their child put on them, but kids don't need to stay connected!
I connected to you through another blog.
The world is changing in this area... think about how it was when you were a kid.
not to worry not going to cave anytime soon. I know times have changed but I just have not heard a valid reason for it yet at this age
