do you really want to spoil her
Absolutely NOT! No 7 year old needs a cell phone.
you should if you think that she deserves it.when i was 7 i was lucky to have a little crappy tape payer in my room... kids are really lucky these days
xx
Hell no. You would be setting a bad example by giving into her screaming tyrade.what next? At 13 it will be "BMW, BMW, BMW, I hate you unless you get me the BMW..."
Did you have a phone at 7? Are you alive to tell about it?
Not trying to be an *** but cmon!
kids these days want phone cuz of t.v spend time wit her 2 get it out of her head, if not get sumthing electric on her level, im surprised 7 yrs. old r even thinkin bout those things, nd plus u gonna spoil by giving things dat she wants, nd she gets older she gonna b self-fish jus b-cuz u let her have wateva she wants, so think bout dat
NO! ... she 7... i didnt even get my first phone until i was 16! and that was just a track phone... personally i think even 12 is too young for a phone... its too much of a responsibilty at such a young age... and who will be paying for the billl?? obviously she doesnt have a job... i dont think this is a good age for her... give her a few years mabey for her 13 b-day! and she wont "hate" you she just using that against you but i dont think you should :)
Heck no! That kid is trying to manipulate you, time to put your foot down or things will be hell in another 5 or 6 years.
Ahh! I would not..
no way!! Take a look at how she asked. That is not someone that is ready for a cell phone. Jeez I'm in my thirties and I just got one a couple of years ago.
If she's only 7,theres no reason she should have a cell phone.Until she's old enough to take on responsibilities I don't think children that age should be concerned about things like that.Or maybe go with Disney's cell phones.
Does a 7 year old need a cell phone? Of course not. What could they possibly do with it that would justify the expense? Nothing. I as a parent would never have to ask myself the question as to whether or not buy my child one. If you have let your child get the upper hand to the extent that you have to "level with her" at the age of 7, the next 11 years of your life may quite be some of the longest you ever experience.
No, not the chocolate phone- unless you like to pay the cell bill.
Maybe it would be wiser to get her something that would contact you directly if you want to communicate with her..
There's no reason for a 7yr old to have a cell phone. Tell her that she'll have to wait until she's older. Do not give in to her antics, or else she'll just use it against you, next time she wants something.
No! I work with elementary school aged children and there's 6 year olds with IPOD'S in my group! I don't even have an mp3 player and I'm 19!
Hell yea! might as well get her the Ferrari to while your at it. Sheesh. Someone please stop this idiot, before she ruins another child's life.
Why does she even need a cell phone? She's only 7. When I was 7, I didn't even dream of wanting a cell phone. Didn't get one till I was driving. If you are planning on getting her a cell phone, get the one she wants. If she already has one, don't get her a new one unless she needs it.
It does seem that she is manipulating you, though, if you give in. I don't reccomend it.
with the tatrum she through it doesnt sound like she is old enough to handle the responsibilties of a phone. Just think of all the long distance calls she would/could make. If I were you I would wait a few years.
Nope. that will just teach her that all she has to do is yell and scream and she'll get her own way...that could lead to a lot of trouble.
Why would a 7 year old need a mobile anyway? They shouldn't be out of adult supervision for long enough to need one!
Hate me if you want, but that is my opinion!
Well, if you want to teach her that she can have anything in life just by demanding it, and you want her to be to have a very empty, unhappy life, sure, go for it. Otherwise, NO!
Well, if your daughter told you that she "would hate you" if you didn't get it theen that's a problem of all it's own. Because it's only going to get worse. If she's the ruler over you she will do whatever she wants. You don't want her to be the pregnant 15 year old now do you. Ok, back on subject, you should not get her this "chocolate" cellphone. Seriously..think for a second, who will she call. I can imagine it now..."Hey Grandma, how was bridge?" And are all of her friends really getting one or is she just saying that. I'm not saying she's a lier, becasue all kids will make up stuff to get what they want. Another question, is she responisble enough for one. For serious now! Will she leave it somewhere the day after she gets it. How much will she use it. Because i'm not sure if the 50 dollars you pay a month is really going to be worth the 2 minute conversation she had with grandma that month. Espeically since she could use a land line. And i'm pretty sure that you don't drop your 7 year old off at the mall by herself and she needs to call you for a ride. So what will she use it for?
I remember being 7. You want to be an adult. You wish people would treat you older. That would make her feel older. Maybe you should get her the phone but there would be the catch. Like make her do extra chores and things like that. And talk to a few of her friends moms and ask their opinions.
Well as odd as it may seem, but yep your child is only 7, but the way technology is going kids her age will be driving in the next 50 years! Seriously.Yep it is a good idea to get her a cell phone but make sure she understands that cell phones are not like home phones.or you can get her a prepaid phone which can be used like an allowence.,,,,For exsample give her $15 of talk time a month, once the time is up, she has to wait to get more money for the phone..That will teach her RESPONSIBILITY and she wont end up being spoiled like a lot of kids are these days,,,,,If you get her that fancy phone you are setting yourself up for spoiled teenager who is going to think that when she asks for money or luxuries, her parents will get it.She wont learn responsibility and she will give you even more headaches down the road.Teach her how to be responsible, the earlier you teach her the better.And last thing, remember to teacher her about NOT keeping up with the Jones' and to be happy for the things she has.While your at it have her donate of her unwanted toys, just to show her how important it is to give than to want or recieve...
I would definately not get this for her. Not only is it far too expensive for a girl of her age, it would eventually end up tossed in the dresser drawer like all the other toys that she said she would "do anything for". Also, buying her the phone after the tantrum she threw will only be rewarding her for such actions. It is very important that children learn that they cannot always get what they want from a young age, as this can cause problems later in life.
If you are still not convinced that you shouldn't buy the phone, ask yourself how much she would use it, truly. Does she use an MP3 player on a regular basis? Is she walking alone, or going places that she would not have access to a regular telephone? Do her friends use cell phones on a regular basis? Is the telephone her primary means of communication? If she is like the average seven year old, the answer to all of these questions is probably "no".
At the age of seven, a lot of girls think they are "all grown up". She has probably seen older girls carrying cell phones, and maybe one of her friends with an over-compliant parent has one (thus the "all of my friends have one" part--you know how kids blow things out of preportion to prove a point).
You may still want to get her a cell phone, and there are plenty of things you can do to make it cool and fun; there are plenty of cheap cell phones that come in fun colors and cool cases, and you can buy some games to put on it. (I once volunteered with a little girl who had a blackberry, and all she used it for was playing games). That way, you'll look like a good mom and she'll have something to brag about to all of her friends.
Hope this helps!
**** no dont get her that she sounds spoiled to me
Maybe... depends on how she was yelling it and if its her normal behavior..
Chocolate wouldn't last long.
Are you out of your mind! A 7 year old doesn't need a cell phone. Who is she gonna call? I mean really.what next year?......a sports car. Wait...her friends have one! They must be rich then. i am 12 years old i am not even allowed to have a cell phone until i am in high school. El stupido!
no way, she sounds too spoiled to me....get her some barbies and have take them from her if she throws a fit about it..she needs to be a child not a spoiled little brat
Seriously, WHO could a 7 year old be calling?
I suggest you spend that money having HER pick out toys to donate to needy children.
I would also ground her little hiney if she EVER screamed at me that way.
