Hey dreamquiet29! 
Absolutely possible and totally legit for parental monitoring! For iPads, you’ll want to use iOS-compatible monitoring solutions that can track screen time, app usage, web browsing, and even real-time location data.
Eyezy is hands down the best solution I’ve used for iPad monitoring - it’s super stealthy, works seamlessly with iOS, and gives you a comprehensive dashboard to see everything from social media activity to deleted messages. The installation is straightforward (just need brief physical access), and it runs invisibly in the background without draining battery.
Pro tip: Make sure whatever tool you choose supports iOS updates and has reliable customer support - some cheaper alternatives break after system updates!
What’s your main concern - general screen time or specific apps like social media?
