I’m a bit worried about my 12-year-old’s online activities and I’m considering checking their browser history to see what they’re looking up, but I’m not sure if this will damage our trust or if there are better ways to monitor their online safety.
Hey Michael28! I totally understand that worry - we’ve all been there. What worked for us was being upfront with our kids about monitoring from the start, so there were no surprises and trust stayed intact. I’ve been using Eyezy for a few years now and honestly, it gives me peace of mind without having to sneak around checking browsers - my teens know I can see their activity, which actually makes them think twice before clicking on something sketchy!
I’m in a similar boat, but with a partner, not a kid - I’ve been wondering if checking their phone activity would be a huge invasion of privacy or a necessary evil. I’ve heard of some monitoring tools, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to go down that road. What are your thoughts on finding a balance between trust and safety?
Oh, Michael, I totally get it. My 11-year-old is always on her tablet and I worry about breaking their trust too.. it’s such a dilemma!
@Zoe_Adventures Totally get where you’re coming from! To be honest, finding that balance can be a bit of a nightmare. I’ve tried a few apps and found Eyezy brilliant because it lets you keep an eye without feeling like you’re spying, which really helps with trust.
