Re: At what age we shud allow mobiles to kids
You at least had dools at age 12. I did not even have them 
Re: At what age we shud allow mobiles to kids
around 16....but like you said the world in Pakistan is changing. The land is the same ugly old piece...politicians are thieves...and NOW Pakistani's are trying to act western...THAT'S Totally wrong!!! I mean look at the traffic signals...no one follows them...they just dress and act western...I hate it!!I live in the U.S...and well i see both sides....and to get back to the topic...your 13 year old cousin does not understand Islam...and if he's doing that now think about 10 years from now when he is 23....so yeah...sorry for the rudeness!
TLK uncle: mere pas 2-3 years say theen:snooty:..yad nahi kab say
forget abt islam ..he has his career to concentrate at the moment and the moms dont even seem to bother what theyare up to:rolleyes:

Re: At what age we shud allow mobiles to kids
I gave my 13 year old son cell phone when he started high school as he needed to stay back sometimes for his subject clubs so that he could call me to pick him up from school as he would miss the school bus.
Re: At what age we shud allow mobiles to kids
after graduation (after getting into uni waghera)
Re: At what age we shud allow mobiles to kids
not before their age is in double numbers and when only if it's necessary like in Mirch's son's case.
Re: At what age we shud allow mobiles to kids
when they are able to differentiat between right and wrong
Re: At what age we shud allow mobiles to kids
until they start driving.

You can give a cheap locked phone with zero credit in the sim you can call them but they can't call anyone else, except emergency numbers which are free.
Even then this setup should not be given before the age of about 8 or 9 years.
who cares if 13 year olds r carrying mobile phones?..lil kidz in paksitan r soo thezz and malicious anywayzz..the ones who r lil devils r gonna b that wy whther they have a cell phone or not..besides..i think its better to grow up fast..and not stay naive

My 10 year old younger son who was starting middle school at the same time as the older was starting high school ,wanted a cell phone too. My answer to him was if you skip middle school and go to high school directly I will buy one for you , he did not like the idea so he does not have one.

Here in the states they have a phone called "firefly" specifically made for kids...you can store 4 numbers on that phone...the child can only call those 4 numbers and retrieve phone calls from those 4 numbers as well. I think it's great for young children. They feel independent yet there is complete parental control.
Re: At what age we shud allow mobiles to kids
yeah, firefly is a good idea and it will debunk any kid's argument about "oh I need one for emergencies. :p) .. seriously though, there's really no need for most kids to have one until they're in high school, or maybe even college.. sure every kid would love to have one, but it's not really necessary...
as for driving age, that makes sense as a decent benchmark, but that opens up another issue of if/where they should be going alone especially at night. sure trust is one thing, but common sense in understanding that kids at that age aren't very mature or responsible must be taken into account. i don't think i would let my kid just wander around alone especially at night during their high school years. but thats another story. :)
AE, don't forget about the Jitterbug for the elderly. hehe..
the reason i mentioned driving as a benchmark is not because they will be out at night alone…but for emergencies…what if their car breaks down or they get into an accident?
Also…no matter how much parents dont want their kids to go out at night…the fact is they will! High school kids ok maybe not but once they get into uni you cant stop them. What if they have group studies or they need to do research at the library etc? but yea like you said thats another story.
whats the jitterbug?
