I am worried about her when she is out late at night with her friends at the movies and especially when she is on a date. She never comes home at her curfiew without being reminded to come home. She doesn't talk to me much anymore and I am getting concerned. She has been begging for one for a long time because all of her friends have them and I think she is old enough. She is very mature and just graduated preschool. What do you think? Happy Thanksgiving.

NO WAY! I am 12 and I dont have a cellphone! You shouldnt be letting kids that age go alone, if so, be really careful and if you MUST, get her a firefly cellphone because 'mom and dad' are a button away. But still, 5 year olds shouldnt be alone! Maybe with the parents of their friends or you, but even then, you dont really need a phone as kids that age lose it that easily.

What the hell? Okay, she is five years old and she has a curfew and goes on dates! I hope this is a joke, or else you are one crazy person!
Sure she can have a cell phone! Make sure you get her one that says "hello, i love you, goodbye" and make sure it sings old MacDonald or something, also you will need to buy some AA batteries for when it runs down!
HA HA! Well, I can't say that much because my cousins daughter is three and she has a digital camera!

Oh come on now. This has GOT to be a joke. Funny, though! I was noticing that the 3rd graders at my bus stop not only all have cell phones..but they have nicer ones then me!
Yes..you're probably kidding with the curfew, date, phone thing..but soon enough..you probably will be considering whether or not they need a phone. Kids are growing up way too fast!

I am assuming this is a joke. You don't give a five year old a cell phone, you don't let your five year old go out to the movies unsupervised, and you don't give a five year old a curfew and expect her to abide by it. These are privileges you give to a mature teenager or young adult. If you allow your five year old to do these things, you need to take a parenting class, or perhaps see CPS, because you are NOT a good parent.

actually i know that you did this as a joke but my son got a cell phone at 4, he just turned 5. The reason behind it is because he walks home from school and instead of having him memorize my cellphone number to call me in case my oldest child was not home by the time he got there or i was not there then he could just press one button to call me. He has the firefly fom cingular.

i'm a brilliant believer in coaching toddlers at an early age to make a deal. For the food market - if she does not scream and cry for candy she gets a definite take care of while she gets living house, if no longer, a timeout! do no longer TAKE HER TO TOY shops! that's counterproductive. Your husband might desire to swear an oath to stop giving in to this 5 year previous monster he has helped to create. Ask him what he intends do while she starts off screaming for a BMW convertible for her sixteenth birthday? Take the costly ipod faraway from Emily, she wil basically wreck or lose it. an company hand, utilizing increasing tension on the shoulder is extremely functional at controlling screaming, only smile. additionally, tell her you do no longer might desire to take her out if she is going to make the day trip unsightly for you, she will stay living house with a babysitter. That worked wonders with my 4 year previous, she understood we've been all going out to have a reliable time and if she could no longer behave she could be left at living house with a babysitter, maximum critically she knew I meant it!

your talking about a five year old? seems like a 13 year old or something! at this rate, i think you should wait till shes 10. i dont even have a cell phone yet and im 16! and the part about all her friends having a cell phone, thats called peer pressure, thats how all kids get what they want "but all my friends have one!" or "but everbody at school has one!" i hope this doesnt take offense...^-^

Um, I don't mean to be rude, but who lets their five year olds go on a date or with friends alone? She is five! Five year olds do things with their parents. And they don't really need cells, that is pretty spoiled if you ask me.
