Pledge of Responsible Use of Mobile Phone by Teens

[This Pledge is taken by all the participants at the end of every seminar on Mobile Phone Addiction conducted by Dr. George Palackal]

• Children are ready for mobile phones when they’re mature enough to use them responsibly.
• Responsible phone use is about developing healthy phone habits, managing costs, sticking to family rules, keeping phones safe and being respectful.
• You can encourage your child to use a phone responsibly by modelling responsible phone use yourself.
• It’s a good idea to discuss and agree on phone rules with your child.
• Rules might cover what your child uses the phone for, and also when, where and how much they use it.
