Yesterday I read articles that teenager should limit calls to less than ten minutes and children under eight should only use a cell phone in emergencies. Also people who used cell phones for long time is risk of brain tumors.

In Toronto’s department of public health has advised teenagers and young children to limit their use of cell phones, to avoid potential health risks. The advisory is the first of its kind in Canada. Officials have warned that because of possible side effects from radio frequency radiation.

For many years, most government health agencies were dismissive of any risk. But with more studies, a pattern is emerging that suggests people who have used their cell phones for a long period of time are at greater risk of certain kinds of brain tumors.

I would rather encourage my kids to use the landlines rather than the cell phone after reading that article. It is something that I came across only today and that got me thinking how much do we as parents notice about children who used cell phones? As you know children below eight age can be controlled easily as far as use of cell phones are concerned. But, how do you get your teenagers to keep away from the cell phone?

How and what your protect for your children and teenagers? Now, as we know that kids and teenagers use the cell phones like adult. Not limited. I think it may be difficult to limit teens on any phone. The major problem here is cell phone have been a life style and part of our life includes kids also teenagers. Almost people also teens say, We cannot live without cell phone.

Here is simple tips maybe can help you:

- Take the phone if you are worried about your teen spending too much time on the phone and not enough time doing things they should be doing. Or, ask for the phone back to your teenagers or kids.

- If you buy your teen or kids a cell phone, first time teaches them about responsibly. Teach them a lesson in money management and responsibility. Parents also must create a constant line of communication with them, and help ensure their safety whiles out their out of your sight.

- Maybe you are as a parent thinking again allowing your teen to have a cell phone. You may still not be sure if they are ready to handle the responsible of having a phone also potential health risks.

- Or, you can try let them buy the phone and consider making them pay for the phone it’s self. But, parents still watching them used cell phones also give punishment if they are used it without responsible. Offer the phone as a reward if bad grades or behavior are prohibiting you from buying your teen a cell phone, And reward for good behavior.
