Cell Phones for Kids

By: Ayesha Aldoghan

There are many reasons why parents must give their kids cell phones, some of them are: to protect them in emergencies and to stay connected with their parents.

One reason some people believe kids should own a cell phone because of emergencies. Modern life makes a certain lifestyle becoming essential such as working parents who need a modern way to dealing with their kids’ emergencies. For example, in a case of a healthy emergency, if a young person is visiting his friend one day. Suddenly, he feels dizzy, but he doesn't know what to do, so he calls his father. After that, his father comes to take him to the doctor. In addition, kids can remember the easy emergency numbers to call if any problem occurred. For instance, the can call 911 for any trouble.

Another reason why many people believe kids should own a mobile phone is to stay connected with their parents. For parents to be always connected with their kids, they should have an easy way to contact with them. Kids can inform their parents where they are and when they need to be picked up. Furthermore, parents can feel comfortable and not need to worry all the time if their kids are all rights and don’t need anything.

In my opinion, cell phone is the best thing keeps people connected with friends. It is easy to be in touch with people. Also, a cell phone became popular for adult and kids. Moreover, mobile phones can save time and money to deal with children. For example, when someone has problem while he or she walking on a street, he/she can call anyone to help him/her. Even more, the parents can reach their kids when they want. Cell phones are important for kids, especially these days, to keep them away from all possible problems. Also, there are many other benefits for children from using cellphones, for instance, learning and looking for new stuff in this technology world, knowing what is happening in the world around them, and using the useful application which provided in all smart phones these days. Some people would think that kids should not own a cell phone because it spoils them. However, the majority of the kids would learn how to be responsible because of their cell phones. In addition, they could pay a part of the bill, so they would take care of using it. Also, owning a mobile phone can make the child feels like an adult, that feeling could give him/her more confidence.
