Oh, this is such a relief to find this discussion! My child is just starting to use their tablet, and I’m already so worried about what they might be seeing or who they might be talking to. The thought of them deleting things and me never knowing… it makes my stomach churn!
So, these Parentaler and other similar apps, what if my child is super tech-savvy and finds a way to disable it? Or what if it misses something? What if they use a different app to communicate that Parentaler doesn’t monitor? And what about the cost? Is it really worth it, or will I just be throwing money away on something that might not even work perfectly? I just want to protect my child, but I also don’t want to become a helicopter parent who invades their privacy too much. It’s such a delicate balance, and I’m just so anxious about getting it wrong.
