This subject comes up again and again. With times being what they are, parents want their children to be safe. However, if you have a teen, they want to feel a sense of maturity and privacy. So should you install nanny software, spyware, or parental controls?
The answer may depend on the child. Children get cellphones earlier than they used to. Some kids as young as 7 may have their own phone. While they are still very innocent at that age, they may accidentally come across content that we don’t want them to see. This is only one thing that can happen. There are many reasons why you may decide to install spyware on your child’s phone. The main reason of installing such software may be to make sure that your teen is where they are supposed to be. Another reason might be to make sure that they are talking to only who they are supposed to talk to. And lastly, it may be to make sure that they are not receiving inappropriate text messages or calls from anyone.
There are some staggering statistics on the website that would make any parent understand why they should keep up with their children. Did you know that 8% of high school students report having attempted suicide? Or that 16% of rape victims are under the age of 18? Or that 20% teenagers try drugs until the age of 16? That is all disturbing isn’t it? But, what if the parents might have known right away that something was wrong and been able to help?

Is that too much? Well again, that depends on the child. As parents, we all want to have some trust in our children to do the right thing. It is others that we cannot necessarily trust. Better safe than sorry. Of course as your child gets older they can have more leeway, you can loosen up the controls, and let them have their privacy as they grow until responsible adults. But, until then it is your job to protect them.

June 5, 2018 at 8:23 amI think that spyware is too much… This ruins trust and relationships. So, I wouldn’t suggest installing apps of such a type on kids’ devices. I think that the maximum parents can do is to limit the time that kids spend playing different video games and some videos. Too much screen time leads to addiction and definitely influences the eye-sight. To prevent the bad impact, I use Kidslox, this app gives me a great level of control. Using this app I can block unwanted apps, limit screen time and block ‘bad’ content. That is what I think is really important.
