Should a nine year old get a cell phone if in three clubs?

Question

my nine year old girl wants a cell phone and is in three school clubs. what should i do?

Answer 1

Nah, your kid does NOT need a cellular phone. He or she can ask to borrow one from a club member or facilitator as needed in cases of emergency. Normally, pick the kid up at set times, like what people have been doing since the dawn of time.

Answer 2

On one hand,your nine year old may be a little to young to handle a cell phone,but then again based on her maturity level at that age,she may be able to handle a cell phone. Is she responsible for her age? Does she do as she is told without problems? Also with her being in 3 school clubs,I think a cell phone would be good for her in case of an emergency. It is up to you,whether you think your daughter should have a cell phone or not. I hope this helps a little.

Answer 3

no.. not a 9 yr old but you cann get her a go fone or a prepaid fone from walmart sheell love it ...!

Answer 4

unfortunately cell phones are becoming a necessity of life and daughter probably does need one just so she seems like she has the same sense of responsibility and freedom her friends have. i think by giving her a cell phone your letting her know you think she is mature and responsible enough to have one. i know nine seems young but in this day and age everyone need to be wired.
