Welcome to Parents Corner, a resource aimed at parents seeking a no-nonsense guide to understanding the use of cellphones by the youth.

Some of the issues we will cover are:

• Is it a good idea to give my child a cellphone, even if it is just to make emergency calls?
• Should I be concerned that my child spends every evening on his or her cellphone chatting with friends?
• I got this huge bill this month, how do I find out where these charges come from?
• Someone is sending bullying SMS messages to my child, what can I do about this?

We recognise that parenting is not easy and that the cellphone has added to the generation gap, especially if you as a parent are perplexed by mobile technology and just can't get the gist of why thumb culture is so appealing to today's youth.

Parents Corner aims to provide you with a toolbox to better equip you to make informed parenting decisions when it comes to cellphones. The only way for parents to close the technological generation gap is to use the mobile technology tools that their children use.
