[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) This is why my 6th grader will never have her own phone

2) This is why, when she does get a phone in a couple of years -- maybe -- I will always have the password and have access to it. It will not be "her phone." It will be my phone that I am generous enough to let her use on occasion, when she demonstrates the maturity required to have one.[/quote]

Isn't that a bit of a catch-22?  How will she demonstrate the maturity to have one?  Is she generally immature, irresponsible, and untrustworthy in other facets of her life?  [/quote]

I don't care if she's the most mature child on the planet -- 12 is too young to have that much access to a phone.[/quote]

You really didn't answer my question so I'll rephrase, if that's okay.

1) How old are your kids?
2) Are they irresponsible and untrustworthy?
3) Do they have any friends?
4) Are they only allowed to have face-to-face conversations?
5) Hypothetical situation- It's Saturday and a friend from school wants to invite your child over to watch a movie.  What is the preferred method of communication- semaphore, aldis lamp, telegraph, or pen and paper?[/quote]
