Well, if you have a kid going to middle school or high school then you know what I am talking about. Maybe it is elementary school now a days.....
"Mom, please please please can I have a cell phone. I promise to clean my room, do my homework, not watch tv ..........". Of course once you do get them a cell phone you realize that your kid does not remember what they promised or really understand the term limits, whether it is time limit, data limit or text limit.
But before you get them a cell phone, it might be a good time to teach your kid some research skills by having them prepare a comparison across different cell phone plans.
Or else try reading sites like these :)
Cheap cell phone plans
Anyway once you do get a cell phone perhaps you should work with your kid to lay down some ground rules on how he/she can use the cell phone.
Psst... few tips
- Don't let them have the cell phone at night, have the charging station in your bedroom
- If your kid starts driving make a strict rule of no texting and driving or even talking for that matter.
- setup find my phone or equivalent, you will be amazed how easy it is for them to lose their phone
