Though my two oldest daughters have standard cell phones (or devices that allow them to text and make calls via wifi) they are still constantly using my phone to FaceTime their friends or make calls when they are outside of wifi range. Having cell phones doesn’t stop my girls from asking me (constantly) for the latest smartphone, but the mom in me just doesn’t think it’s the best idea—much to their dismay! I’m far from the only mom out there though who has concerns about my children’s mobile usage, Zact recently conducted a survey that found 73% of U.S. parents are concerned about the lack of parental control of a child’s activities on mobile devices. How do you feel about your children owning smartphones? Do you think there’s a specific age where having a smartphone would be considered appropriate? Make sure you check out the Zact, U.S. Mobile Families Survey 2013 infographic below for more information from the survey!

Texting and driving is something that I try not to do, I ‘d be lying if I said that I don’t ever do it, but I do try very hard not to, especially after seeing those commercials or reading or hearing about horror stories where an accident happened because someone was texting and driving. My husband on the other hand, does it nearly every time he’s in the car and it’s something that I spend a lot of time pleading with him not to do. With not one, but three of our children who are going to be driving within the next year, it’s more important than ever for both of us to set a good example and be responsible when it comes to texting and driving so that hopefully our children will follow that example and refrain from texting and driving when they get their licenses. I received a pitch containing an interesting infographic about texting and driving that I thought I’d pass along to all of you, if you have teens who are already drovers or who will be soon, it’s definitely worth having a look.
