[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does an 8 or 9 year old NEED a phone? In our house, they get 'em when they hit middle school. With email and texting, it is pretty hard to share a phone.[/quote] OP here. My 9 yr old needs a phone for MY sanity (right or wrong--I know there will be some on DCUM who will call my a helicopter mom). She has to cross a busy street after school to get to another building where I will meet her with my DS. It will only be 15-20 minutes, but I would like to know she made it into the building. My other child will use to to let me know where he is after his after school activity. [/quote] OP again, which is why I was originally leaning towards a talk and text phone only.[/quote]
