Cell phone for baby? Better get him these pants to boot!

Thanks to Kim at Three Dogs and a Baby for this pointer to Old Navy, where you can make your child the proud owner of a pair of cargo pants...with a pocket for his or her cell phone, so your baby or toddler can be just like "the big kid". Um, no, Old Navy - if you wanted our tots to be just like "the big kids", you would sell these pants along with a laptop, a jumbo bottle of Tums, and $10,000 in consumer debt. I know kids are growing up quickly these days, but can't we wait just a little longer to grow 'em up? Is it too much to ask to wait until my child is, say, 4 years old before I get him accustomed to a digital tether?

I hate to say it, but our son loves telephones so much we ended up getting a toy cell phone for him to destroy, instead of our real phones. But not without some trepidation.

I may have mentioned this before, but I bought a winter coat for my son at Target with a pocket for an MP3 player. I didn't realize this until I got home. It seems rather silly on a coat for a 2 year old!

How can I get my teenage son to open up?

AdviceMama Says:

Start by teaching him that it is safe to do so.
