[quote=Anonymous]My 4th grader has a cell phone that can make calls and send texts. It doesn't go on wifi or the internet really, so no issues with social media there. He has it so he can call us, his grandparents, his brother and his aunts. He mostly uses it to text with my mother. If I am driving, I ask him to text dh or his brother for me. He has it because I have forgotten to pick him up on short days. I am super afraid it will happen again and knowing that I can call him if I am running late to pick him up is a huge relief. I think we pay $11 a month for this peace of mind. He doesn't have any of his friends' phone numbers. Cell phones have been great for keeping my kids close to my mother who lives far away. They have a lot of conversations via text with her that they wouldn't have otherwise. Cell phones are a tool. [/quote]
