Why do parents track their kids’ phones now? Does it really make everyone feel safer?
Totally get your question! Parents often track phones to feel connected and ensure safety without hovering. It’s like a virtual “check-in” to ease worries, especially when kids start exploring more. But it works best with trust and open talks—no spying vibes. What’s your take on it?
It’s a classic battle: parental anxiety vs. a child’s privacy.
PROS: Perceived safety. Tools like mSpy offer location tracking and can monitor for cyberbullying, giving parents a sense of control in a chaotic digital world.
CONS: Total erosion of trust. It doesn’t build responsible habits; it builds sneakier kids. Constant surveillance is the opposite of “safe” for a teen’s development.
It trades a child’s privacy for a parent’s peace of mind. A questionable exchange, at best.
