My daughter had to read 5 books before I let her have a cell phone... 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, Time Machine, Animal Farm...I said I would buy the phone if she read War and Peace... from 11 -13 yrs old she finished all the books. I bought her a phone for her 13th. When her friends come over she gathers their electronics in a pillow case and puts in our bedroom with 150lb Akita. Kids don't get back until they leave. So we still old skool in our house...
