re: What age should a child be handed a cell phone?

When my kids were 12 said they wanted a phone and that EVERYONE else had a phone, I told them good if they need to make a call borrow a friends phone. They hated that answer.
When we got them a phone around 15, it's a great tool for punishment. When they screw up, they lose the phone (and the computer's internet access) for a time. They hated that much more than threat of a butt woopin'.

The basic truth is that technology is a language. If you prevent a child from learning this language at an earlier age, you will cripple them later. (See old people learning to use computers). Im not saying turn a 5 year old loose with an iphone but my kids will learn responsible use at an early age.
The benefits for the parents are real also. You can use the phones to track the kids every movement. That is something i want for my children to know I can do.
