Parents - If Your Preteen Presented You With These Reasons Would You Get Them A Cell Phone?

Because this teen not only went through the trouble and the maturity to think, write and present this, it shows their state of maturity and great way of thinking even including disciplinary actions. WOW! Most kids would NOT include punishments. For that matter mast kids would kick and scream and throw fits as to them "wanting" one. The proverbial,"I hate you" and slam slam slamming of the bedroom door. Just seeing this would greatly encourage you to invest in this teens communication ability. In fact I would recommend pre paid phone to start with with a monthly budget paid by me, thereafter paid by them. After one year of good tracking, put them on the family plan. Show them that their thinking is greatly appreciated and most appropriate in order to obtain what they ask for. keep this list for reference and reminder as per the agreement. What no signature lines or date? lol
