A few weeks ago, I asked in our poll, “Do your kids have their own cell phone?”
Out of 22 voters, the majority (78%) said “yes” or were planning to get their children a cell phone when they got older.
- Yes: 23% (5)
- No, they’re too young: 55% (12)
- No, I won’t be buying them one: 23% (5)
Mike at Be A Good Dad responded:
I’m not worried about my kids abusing the phone. I’m not worried about my kids abusing the internet. I’m not worried about my kids abusing TV, the microwave, the iPod, the bike, or the basketball hoop. As my kids grow up, I want them to be able to experience all of these everyday items in doses that I can keep track of.
Pragmatism. I like it!
NB: We’d love to hear where your toys come from. Vote in the new poll over in the sidebar to your right!
