I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Zact. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Smart Phones and My Family

My kids are still fairly young, but I’m already worried about their mobile phone usage.  They’re constantly swiping mine or my husband’s phone to play games on.  My 8 year old daughter even likes to call or text her friend or my mother.  I allow her to, but only with my supervision.

I’m becoming more and more aware of the ways that predators, scammers, and bullies are targeting people online, and I know that these methods are now extending to cell phones as well.

The Research

The team at Zact conducted a survey to find out what’s behind parents concerns with cell phones. Did you know 73% of U.S. parents are concerned about the lack of parental control of a child’s activities on mobile devices?
