So, if you listen to my children, they are the last 5th grade girls ON THE PLANET to get their own cell phones. I'm not buying that, but at the same time, I do think it would be nice for them to have them by summer... Dancing DD is probably old enough to walk herself to and from the dance studio, once it starts staying light out later. Gymmie is gone a lot, of course, and there will be camp this summer, etc. They have a late February birthday, so I think we're going to take the plunge as an 11th birthday present. My question is, for parents, what kind of rules have you established for cell phone use? Or for young people, what rules do you have have regarding cell phone use (or advice you were given or advice you would have for a kid getting her own phone for the first time)? Many thanks!
