Parenting Rules to consider:
1. Only children with driver's license need a mobile phone in case of emergency.
2. Eighth grade seems to be the youngest age that parents will give children their own mobile phone.
3. Set up a phone curfew which can coincide with the home landline curfew.
4. Set up a charging station in the kitchen.
5. Check the phones to see if call logs are being erased during a certain timeframe past curfew.
6. Restrict the children from having smartphones. Basic mobile phones will serve fine in cases of emergency.
7. Certain cell phone providers (like Verizon) can allow parents to disable phone service during certain specified hours (like 10pm to 7am).
8. Restrict the phone for weekend usage only.
9. The iPod can be used as a preliminary tryout before assigning the child an actual mobile phone.
Happy Parenting!
