@Insider You make a great point about detailed monitoring versus ease of direct control. I learned the hard way that obsessively tracking every detail of my kid’s device use only led to tension and broken trust; it felt more like surveillance than support. The more I monitored, the better my kid became at hiding things, and eventually, our open communication suffered. If I could do it over, I’d prioritize tools that let us discuss boundaries and agree on limits together, instead of just enforcing them from above. Please—choose an app that empowers you and your child to have those essential conversations, before tech becomes a wedge.
