Cell phones are not just for business tycoons and parents on the run, children are more and more getting their own cell phones. Elementary aged children are bringing them to school.

Many schools are banning cell phones, so your child may not be able to have or use the phone during the time when he is most likely to be away from home.

The Firefly Phone, which is a popular ‘first phone’for younger kids, is now available from Cingular Wireless, so you could simply add it on to your Family Talk plan.

Although the Firefly Phone is a ‘real, functional cellphone,’ pre-teens and teens likely won’t think so, and they will probably want a regular cell phone.

The positive side of your child having a cell phone is being able to contact them or them being able to contact you in an emergency.

The negative factor is that many children are not using them responsibly. If you are going to buy a cellphone for your child, it’s important to ensure they know what is classified as proper use and what is not proper.

Being able to keep in touch with your child when he or she is not with you is a valuable perk; yet, with the right education on how to use them responsibly they can continue to be a valuable tool for your child.
