Cell phone debate

I had one at age 14, but never used it at all till I turned 17.. then I became addicted to it.

Honestly the longer you wait before introducing it the better off you'll be, but there's a fine line between that and the need to get ahold of him for emergency reasons and/or just needing a form of contact.

Where that line is drawn is ultimately up to you, but at 10... I think it's too young.

I agree with the above though. Disable txting, internet, all that crap IF you decide to get it.
