I've been letting him borrow mine when he goes and plays at a house across the street. That way he can call me when he wants to come home (I won't let him cross the street by himself!) Also, it's been really handy when I want to call him to see how he's doing. I don't know, I can definitely see the benefit of it. I know what you mean though, it does seem a little ridiculous, especially because he is ALWAYS in the supervision of an adult. Still, I like keeping tabs on him.

One of my oldest daughter's friends who is 6 does have a cell phone, but her mom works in the afternoons and she is usually with a sitter. Any way, I'm with you, I just can't see it until maybe middle school? (5th grade) Even though my girls will occasionally spend the night with my mom or my inlaws, it's not like they need their own phones!

I have several problems with that at these young ages. To start with I so believe they should NOT be allowed in school - they're disruptive even when they're off - the kids are there to learn. If the parent needs to reach the child, contact the school! At these young ages most responsible parents only leave their kids with school, day care or friends and family they trust and can contact. So that being said, why does ANY kid need a cell phone? Remember when we used to say, but mom all the kids have one? My dad's normal answer was and if they all jumped off a bridge would you follow? Peer pressure is the same today, the fads have just changed a bit. We still need to teach our kids the proper values and beliefs. I don't believe they NEED cell phones for any reason until after they start driving and then ONLY for emergencies.

I mean really, if they were only being used for "important" things, like an emergency or "Honey, I need you to pick something up at the store for me,thanks.." I'd understand, but watching people wander around the grocery aisles or sitting in a restaurant blithely chatting away makes no sense to me, and even less for a child! Incidentally, my oldest is 19, in college and STILL doesn't have one. Yes, I'm an evil mom. :grin: <em>Wendy's last blog post..<a href='http://momlady.blogspot.com/2008/03/easter-blessings.html'>Easter Blessings</a></em> I’m echoing Val on this, I’ve always thought that if people could live for decades without one, why is it so vitally desperate to have one now?

And if "everyone" has them, then there's a lot available to them when they *really* do need one. I also feel that when we give them something like this, then they'll be asking us for the next big thing and it would then be even harder to say "no". I feel the same, Jen, I plan to have my kids with me as long as I possibly can. I don't care how embarrassing I might be to them! :) <em>Val's last blog post..<a href='http://purple-valley.blogspot.com/2008/03/happy-spring-happy-linky-love-happy.html'>Happy Spring, Happy Linky-love, Happy Winnings!</a></em> Maybe my thoughts will one day change but my thinking is, we didn’t have them growing up and did just fine, so so will my kids.
