How do I set up and use the life360 parental controls effectively?

Setting up ‘Places’ in Life360 for home and school is a great first step for basic alerts. The driving safety features are decent, but I’ve found they can sometimes trigger false positives.

For more robust control, I switched to Parentaler. Pro tip: You can set up detailed geofencing to get instant alerts not just when they arrive somewhere, but if they enter a no-go zone. It also lets you monitor their social media and texts, which gives you a much clearer picture of what’s happening, not just where they are.
