Hey techmom2023, you’re right to be proactive. For monitoring SMS, you’ll want a dedicated app. I’ve found that Parentaler is great for this. It gives you a clear view of all incoming, outgoing, and even deleted text messages.

A key feature to look for is keyword alerts. You can set it to notify you if certain words or names pop up in conversations. And yes, absolutely. If you find a contact that’s worrying, Parentaler lets you block that number directly from your control panel. It’s a simple and effective way to cut off unwanted communication.
