Havent had any trouble with loss but have had trouble with text minutes. I remember as a kid having to always have a quarter for a pay phone with me in case of an emergency.

We have a family one that they take with them if they're going to need it--say, if they want to stay after school or go to a friend's house or something. Our nieces, though, are 10 & 13, and they both have cell phones. <BR/><BR/>When our oldest borrowed his brother's Nintendo DS and lost it, he had to save up his allowance and replace it--it took quite a while, and he was broke for long enough that I think it made an impression.<BR/><BR/>I suspect they've learned to hold onto things because being military dependents, they've had ID cards since they were 10, and have had to keep track of them. They learned when their sister lost hers what a huge PIA it is. <BR/><BR/>The only suggestion I can come up with is to make sure he has to deal with the consequences of misplacing something--paying for the lost phone, etc. <BR/><BR/>Good luck, and I hope he grows out of it. Our daughter did. :)Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346619210375248680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743882718798327691.post-29988314386169262412008-02-21T21:54:00.000-08:002008-02-21T21:54:00.000-08:00I dont have a baby.i guess still i can post a comm...I dont have a baby.i guess still i can post a comment here:-)<BR/>i think u must make him undertsnd.espeecially cuz its a lota money losing ur wallent n mobile...anywaz...he wud grow up a responsible boy..im sure... thanx 4 checkin inmy blog...<BR/><BR/>chikku :)non compos mentishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544822822131622528noreply@blogger.com
