Mobile phone and internet rules

[lilima]

Ahh the days of if you wanted to call someone you had to sit in the lounge on the fixed wall phone.. With little sisters listening in and all...

I shudder to think what it will be like for my kids.

Sorry this post had been in no way helpful.

I think your rules sound fine..the consequences are no phone, so they really don't have much choice but to follow the rules.

Just a Q, what is the going age to get a phone?

My kids got them for christmas just before they started high school.

I think they're good tinks!

Definitely don't need them at night!

I'm not there yet... But I plan to get DD a phone for high school...

I don't think I know any teens who have to leave their phones out of their rooms, but I like the idea personally. I might even use that one. I will have access to DD's fb/phone etc etc when she eventually gets them.
