Cellphone for tweens
My son (who is 10) has been asking me for a cellphone for over a year. Of course, I like many other parents, think that is way too young - “who are you going to call, son?”.
Well today in the Boston Globe, I just learned that my efforts to “help him” postpone that decision will get a little harder as soon as advertisement for the tween cell phone reaches him. I wonder how long that will take - but wait, maybe he already knows and is planning an all out “marketing” campaign to convince me and his mother that it is realy ok to have one now (hi mother who is of course way tougher than me! - but who eventually, like millions of other tween parents I guess, gave in to buying him Halo, an “M” rated game brought to you by Microsoft)…
oh well…
