Cell Phones and Your KidsTo cell or not to cell?

Join the MediaWise Network to
download the Institute’s new
parent guide to cell phones.

David Walsh, president and founder of the National Institute on Media and the Family, just returned from Seoul, South Korea where he attended an international summit on Internet safety. He came back to the Institute with plenty to report — especially since South Korea is about two years ahead of the U.S., technologically speaking. What did he see in the hands of all South Korean youth? Cell phones, cell phones, cell phones!

Of course cell phones are not new to kids in the U.S. But as the Internet, television, movies and music make their way into our kid' cell phones, parents will face new challenges keeping track of their kids' screen time. The new MediaWise® parent guide to cell phones will tell you what’s new and what to look out for around the next bend.
