From the award winning teacher who has helped thousands of parents
and children
_Dear Fellow Parent,_
_Just like you, I love my family more than anything is this world.
When it comes to my kids, I want them TO BE HAPPY, SAFE, AND ENJOY
LIFE. When my wife and I decided to get a cell phone for our oldest
child, it opened a huge list of issues and concerns that we were
totally clueless about. _
_I'M SURE YOU CAN RELATE TO OUR STORY_
_After a few years of begging and pleading, my wife and I finally
agreed to get our 12 year old daughter a cell phone. We thought it
would help keep her safe and we also felt that she was ready:_
* _She was walking alone to and from school each day_
* _She was babysitting_
* _She was going to more and more events for school and at church_
* _She was spending more with friends away from the house_
* _Her academics were excellent - an honor role student_
* _Her behavior had always been great_
* _She did all her chores around the house_
* _She was responsible and reliable_
_She had earned the privilege and we thought we were ready. We tried
to prepare for all the possible problems. We talked about being
responsible, as well as some of the dangers we had heard of. Despite
our efforts, we were still CLUELESS about all the issues that were
waiting for our entire family. It didn't take long for a variety of
concerns to pop into our lives._

Cell phones force our kids to confront a multitude of problems
everyday. As my daughter started encountering more and more of these
problems, I realized that I needed help as a parent. I wanted to be a
step ahead of the game; to be prepared in advance of the possible
issues in order to best help my daughter.
Cell phone issues that our kids are face are
VERY SERIOUS
and much worse than I had ever expected. I thought I had a good idea
what was going on, but boy was I wrong!
What I uncovered over the upcoming year or two was very concerning.
I learned that our kids are facing many serious issues that relate to
their cell phones - things from sexting to cheating in school, to
bullying and pornography. I also learned that I was not alone in my
fears and frustrations as a parent.
As a caring parent, I’m sure you have come across some cell phone
problems with your child too.
The biggest realization I made was that most kids are facing these
issues ON THEIR OWN. The real problem facing our kids is not their
cell phones, or even what they do with them.
The true problem stems from a LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and involvement with
us parents.
There are just so many things that go on with kids and their cell
phones. It’s very difficult for us to keep up, especially as
technology changes so fast!

During my mission to learn, I thought about visiting a library or
bookstore to read up on cell phone problems with kids – YEAH RIGHT!
There wasn’t a book available that would help (and I’m a
resourceful librarian for goodness sake). I decided to investigate
myself. I talked with every adult and child of all ages about their
cell phone problems. I interviewed and then interviewed some more.
As I dug deeper and deeper into my research, I came to understand
that there are some serious issues at hand!
THE INFORMATION YOU’LL FIND IS BASED OFF OF:
* Hundreds of hours of research,
* Interviews with over 100 parents, educators, and kids,
* My personal perspective and experience as a parent,
* My experience as a high school teacher-librarian
After all the research and interviews, I narrowed down the list to
The 13 Biggest Problems
* Sexting
* Bullying
* Obsession
* Sneakiness ">I'm sure you have experienced cell phone problems

Testimonial from Judith
Do you want to keep your children safe? Read the book CELL PHONE
SECRETS by Mike McQueen. As a librarian I am aware of students’
use of cell phones but nothing prepared me for the information
contained in this book. I consider myself a savvy technology user
but in fact I am very naïve about cell phones and the extent of the
problems that exist with them. The most interesting chapters for me
were the chapters on Sexting and Cyber bullying. While working in
Japan I had a student that was cyber bullied and this caused the
parents to remove him from the school and move to an entirely
different part of Japan. The school did not know how to address this
situation, as it was not face-to-face bullying or the physical or
verbal abuse that many of us have seen as part of a school setting.Â
It is imperative that schools have policies in place to protect our
students from this. As an overseas educator this book will be a
starting point to make parents and teachers aware of problems that
they may not even suspect that exist. I know I didn’t. The most
helpful parts of the book were that at the end of each chapter or
subject there were helpful tips for parents. Well done Mike! -
