When my daughter was in 6th grade, age 11, she was staying after school for the school play as I was driving home from work. I started to worry that she had no way to call me if the bus never picked her up, so I gave her one of my old cell phones. Started off with minimal texting and some calls. She cannot take it out during school hours, and we have no signal at home, so it is easy to control when she uses it. Now that she is in 8th grade, I have given her more texting abilities (she latched on to my unlimited texts on the family plan).
My son is 8. He is not a phone person by any means. I wouldn't give him one anyway. He can wait till 6th grade like his sister did. He really does not have any need for it now.
