Do you share your location with your teen or do you only have their location?

Life 360 has notifications, vs find my friends you have to consciously check the app. My oldest had a life 360 with her freshman year friend group and deleted it bc it caused so much drama, but when the same friends moved to find my friends it wasn’t like that. The notifications just encourage constantly checking if and it tells you everywhere that person has been that day, which seems creepy. Find my friends is just real time so check it if you need to but that’s it

Life 360 also allows you to look back at where they have been. I can track back numerous days.

Surprisingly, my college son doesnt care that he is on it.

Same. We have a family group, including a 16 yr. and 19 yr. old in College. Neither of them care they are on it.

Both of my kids have groups with their own friends...

This. My high school kids track their close friends too. The kids are so used to this they don't see it as weird at all.

Yes. As long as I pay the phone bill and maybe longer the agreement with my teen is to share her location at all times. Mine is shared with her although she never looks at where I am. Will sometimes text to ask when I’ll be home and I have to tell her to look at my location.
