It's school holiday time here. On the way to work i could not but help notice a couple of a school kids not older than 12 years happily engaged in conversations on thier cellphones.

As a tool to contact in an emergency and for parents to know the wherabouts, the cellphone sure iasan important tool. But on the negative side of it, the cellphone can be a big distraction for children. There are various other such negative impacts as well as.

This made me wonder as to what age would be right for children to start using cell phones? When do you think that children can start using the cellphone with responsibility?

I think 13 years of age is the perfect time to allow children to use cellphones. 13 is the starting point of teenage years so I think this is when they have to enjoy this tiny little gadget.
