[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 610044, member: 1967"] TL, as we all know, there is no right or wrong answer here. We, in the SA forum, have had this discussion before about phones. I personally see giving a difficult child a cell phone as enabling. However, I totally understand the viewpoint that others have that it is a way to keep in touch so you know that your difficult child is at least alive. So, if that is how you feel, then I agree with LMS. Give him the phone if it will be comforting to you to know that he has it. LMS was absolutely correct that it is up to your difficult child to stay or not and witholding the cell phone won't make him do the right thing. If it was only that easy. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
