Before you give your child a cell phone — or if your child already has one — make
an agreement with your child to use it responsibly. The days of using a cell phone
for phone calls only are history. Sexting, cyberbullying and “text bombing” are
very real concerns and should be discussed early. With the Parent/Child Cell
Phone Contract, parents and their children can openly discuss and agree upon the
responsibilities that come with having a cell phone. Download the contract today
