Parents, Are you Worried About Your Child's Cellphone
Posted 08-15-2009 at 07:12 PM by aepple
Scam downloads, joke-of-the-day, sexting, and third party offers can run up your bill.
many children have more sophisticated phones than their parents — its like having a computer.
Does your child text under the covers at night?
We’ve all heard that driving and texting is dangerous, but Dr. Milteer warned that pedestrian accidents have occurred because children were texting as they crossed the street and were not aware of their surroundings. And even though it may not be as hazardous to use cellphones while sitting at the dinner table or mingling with friends, it is just plain rude.
Not only is constant texting distracting and unnecessary, but “you have to wonder if it interferes with developing some social skills at some point.”
Do you text when your on a new date, does this show lack of interest towards your partner/date.
Cellphones are now a way of life, they just need to be used in a safe responsible way. Educate your kids, be a parent, hold then accountable for their actions.
