Parental Monitoring on Teens' Cell Phones


Are you monitoring your teen's cell phone when he/she is walking across a street? It sounds funny but how many times have you seen a kid texting while walking across a street and almost get hit by a car or bike. Having some parental monitoring on your teens cell phone may just help him/her not get physically hurt.  

As parents, we need to remember to constantly talk to our children about when not to text. Kids shouldn't text when they engaged in activities that require their full attention, such as bike riding, skate boarding, cooking or in situations when he needs to be aware of what is going on around them, such as crossing the street or parking lot. I am sure most of you have seen YouTube videos of adults or kids texting and falling or running into an object or person. We definitely don’t want this to happen to our kids.  

How many parents have talked to your kids about not texting while engaged in another activity?
