It continues to surprise me how many kids actually have their own cell phone these days, and at the young ages they are getting them. Cell phone communication is a great way for families to keep in touch with each other. This is the main reason we chose to get our teens their own phones a few years ago.

Now with some companies offering family plans, it makes a whole lot more sense for each family member to have a cell phone so they can stay in touch with each other throughout the day. We even use our phones for grocery shopping. I will text my husband the few things I need at the store so when he is on his way home from work, he can pick them up. Then I don’t have to drive 1/2 an hour into town later, saving us money on gas.

Speaking of texting, kids and teens love to text! I believe more kids communicate through texting than through talking. The other day I was driving one of our youth group girls home and she was texting me while we were in the same car. I just had to laugh because I thought how funny it was that she felt more comfortable typing words out to me than actually speaking them.

With smart phones becoming less and less expensive these days, communicating via Twitter and Facebook on the cell phone has also become a popular way to communicate. Some phones even have a MySpace application. With communication so readily available and phone packages becoming more and more reasonable, there is no reason why families shouldn’t stay connected. Of course there are safety precautions that need to be taken and rules should be enforced upon your children when they first receive a cell phone. So, if you’ve been thinking about getting your family connected with cell phones, check out all the safety tips and other guidance you’ll find at Family on the Phone.
