What Is The Right Age For Your Kid’s First Phone?

Technology has made our world an ever changing place. I am dating myself when I talk about my first cell phone that was proudly mounted in my car. It was so cool to be able to use that thing, It had no voice mail, if you called in and no one was there you could leave your number for me to call back. That was years ago and now everyone has a phone that will do everything from pictures to video to checking your Facebook status to email. With this new technology comes a new responsibility as a parent.When do you get your child their first cell phone. In the picture you can see my 3 1/2 year old son working his moms cell phone. He can play his games, listen to his favorite song, and even watch videos! He knows how to work the phone better than me. He even showed me how to take pictures. What do you think is the right age to get your child their first phone?
