I disagree. Not that I am running out and buying a cell phone for my two-year-old or anything like that <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />, however a means to call for help is invaluable in lots of situation that start off normal and then become dangerous due to unforseen circumstances such as weather or injury to a supervising adult or any host of other possibilities. My son is two so I haven't even gotten him to effectvelly use a whistle yet, let a lone a cell phone. When we go in the woods together (which we do quite often) I dress him in the brightest orange jumper I can find, and thats about all I can do in my situation. The point is that you do the best you can for your kids in your specific situation. For some that may be a Snoopy satellite phone <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and for others it may just be bright orange clothing. For most it probably falls somewhere in between. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
