Some parental control apps provide location tracking capabilities, allowing parents to monitor their child's whereabouts. Additionally, they can set geo-fencing, triggering alerts if the child enters or leaves specific locations.

Devices have become so prevalent today that many parents are serving technology to their children as young as age 2!

While most parents issue a cell phone to their children at some point for the purpose of communication, smartphones serve up much more than the ability to contact Mom and Dad. There are endless temptations and opportunities to connect with others, as well, and cell phone use requires limits and boundaries to prevent the damaging effects of exposure to today’s media.

Many parents wait until a child is 16 years old and driving to allow a cell phone. Others may consider providing a phone upon entry into high school, depending on the situation. The longer you can hold off on providing devices, the better. The risks are real, and the potential harm is tremendous.
