Let’s talk cellphones and kids. How old do you think a child should be before they get their first cellphone? Should it be a smartphone or just one that can make calls? Do you think kids spends too much time on their phones? Do you set rules for phone use for your child? If so, what? My 15 1/2 year old got her first phone at age 12 with limited use. She couldn’t surf the web until we upgraded her phone at age 14. Even now, she gets limited use on what she can see and do on that phone. Yes, I frequently take a peek at who she’s talking with as I pay the bill and I’m the MOM! My 9 year old just got his first phone a few months ago.

Only 3 more days until Christmas! Are you ready? Got everything done? I’m ready to get the holidays over with! I’m looking forward to January and having a much slower-paced schedule. Things have been hectic for this family since early October when my mother had major surgery. She’s coming along but it’s been a long tough road for her. We’ve all been rallying around her and supporting her. I pray that 2025 is a more peaceful, healthier and calmer year!!!
