Me and my wife are having a bit of disagreements and could use some help mediating regarding my 15-year-old son and getting him his first cell phone? No, no cell phone. Have you not been keeping up with the news and the reports? Kids who have access through cell phones, very bad, psychologically, very bad. Socialy, very bad, in terms of getting addicted.

I mean, Zuckerberg is now on. He's being sued and so are other people running all these social media things that suck kids in.

“All you have to do is go on the net and say, "Is having a cell phone good or bad for kids?”

Just do it yourself. There's no argument here." Whoever is saying he should have a phone is a bad parent and ignorant about the realities of how this impacts kids. Now, there are phones that all they do is make a call, take a call. That's a phone. That's what we're looking into, yeah.

That's the only phone a responsible parent would give their child.

Yeah, so he was looking to apply for his first job here, so I know who thinks he should have a contact number of his own.

He's going to be getting hired on call. It's a phone that takes calls and makes calls that does not go on the net. That's it. That's what he needs. And that's, I believe what I got here. It was the dumbest phone they had at Target at $30.

They call it a dumb phone. I love it. That's what I don't know. She, my wife to stay at home once or she says she's here for him. She can be his time contact to the phone number for all that tonight. I'm sorry if he has a job and they need to connect with him.

Mommy's got to learn that he's going to be a man soon and she's got to back off of that. Sorry, Mom. You're becoming obsolete. A good parent becomes obsolete. Does a good parent doesn't find more ways to control?

Well, this is true. I hear it. I also defend the boy who says that you'll be more responsible with this chores once he has this helpful. Of course, we're not consistent with it and he's not. Well, I have no idea about that.

I'm only talking about whether a child should have a phone. Only if it's a dumb phone, not if it goes on the net. And if you're still wanting to control him to make him be some kind of boy, you tell him you're going to trust him. This is his responsibility.

If he doesn't keep up his chores, you just make things very clear.

“If you don't keep up your chores, which are, and you should list them.”

This, this, this and this are your chores that need to be done every day. If two days in a row, they're not done and you're not in a coma, the cell phone goes. Okay. So, the choice becomes his. Do I want to keep this phone?

I damn well better do my chores. That's how you give control to the kid who's going to grow up into an adult. You need him to take responsibility for that.

Mm-hmm.

Our job is to become obsolete.

“Well, you know, that sounds doable. I guess I also was assuming that he would earn his phone by getting a job and by buying his own.”

And eventually leaving the next that way, I just didn't want to rob him of the experience of, you know, earning a phone. I understand what you're saying, but if he needs it for a job, then we have to do this backwards.

Or the way you can do it is to say, we will loan you the money and you will pay it back.

$5 a week when you get your job.

“Yeah, we have to do this idea, make him participate.”

It was, yeah, he probably has enough already to afford it for a muscle. Oh, okay. Make him buy it. Okay. I'll write.

I'm with you. I'm with you. All right. Well, thank you. Well, thank so much.

“And after talking to you, too, I think he's probably a good kid.”

Yeah.

Well, thank you. I agree.

He's a teenager. He's still be a good kid and an annoying teenager. I mean, those two things can exist at the same time. My number 1-800-Dr. Laura 1-800-375-2872.
