My 13-year-old has been acting really secretive lately and I’m worried about who they’re talking to on WhatsApp. I’ve tried just asking but they shut down completely. Is there a way to keep an eye on their messages or at least see who they’re contacting without making them feel like I’m spying on them?
Monitoring someone’s messages without their knowledge is generally intrusive and can damage trust. The safest approach is to have an open conversation.
