Do you thing is it good to not allow children to use cell phones..???
I feel that it is not good to allow children to use cell phones in their early ages.It will affect their studies as they may develop the habbit of playing games.The radiations emitted by the cell phones also affects their health.Though it has become a necessity we should minimize its use as far as possible.
What do think on this??

I agree that children should not be allowed to use cell phones. You have stated very good reasons that support this. However, when they get older, I think that sometimes it is necessary for children to have them. My daughter started getting dropped off at home after school, and she was there alone for about an hour before her father got home from work, since I worked farther away than he did. We got her a cell phone for emergencies, in case something happened and we needed to get ahold of her or vice versa. She was not allowed to use it to just call her friends or anything, though, and she was very good about following the rules regarding the phone.

Hi there, well i guess giving cellphones on children in early age is not necessary but we can see many children now especially those in elementary was having cellphone already. Maybe cellphone can affect education of children so parents who gave cellphone already to their children should advice to use it only during free time and it should not be use in school especially when time of studying.Well i hope i can make sense here, keep on mylotting.

If I had children, they would not be using cell phones....not after the stories I have heard and the things I have witnessed. I know a girl, 14 years old, has a tumor in her brain and Doc said it was from talking on cell 30 minutes a day. Children are not fully developed and they are more susceptible to the effects of cell phone usage than adults although i am starting to think that no one should be using cell phones!
