Agreed, pay as you go, kids can level up, life can be like a game, with contests, prizes, challenges, bonuses, specials, like a game show, full of some excitement, where the levels get harder and harder slowly at the pace that the kids can handle and keep up with and each kid is different.

Pay as you go phone plans are perfect. Or even prepaid plans as well. I started working with my dad when I was ten in some landscaping and yard work and started getting paid and that helped.
