[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the people saying it’s unhealthy have other issues that come into it.[b] It’s only unhealthy if you let it be that way. We have Life360 but it’s only ever really checked for emergencies. Nothing wrong with tracking as long as you’re not going out of your way to constantly check and ask them why they’re at a certain location.[/b][/quote]

[b]But how is a college aged kid really going to know if their parents are actively tracking them?[/b]  When I was in college, there was no way in hell I would have wanted my parents to be able to locate where I was at all times.  [/quote]

In our case, we've had the ability to track our kids (using find my phone) since they got their phones.  We've developed a relationship with them over 4 yea years of high school that says that we only use the tracking in case of emergency and not on any sort of regular basis.  When they come home I don't say "huh, i noticed you were in Arlington and then Bethesda.  What were you doing?"  I have my own life.  I have about a million other things to do than track my kids' green dots around town.  
[b]SO my kids don't fear or think twice about tracking AT ALL because it's NEVER come back to bite them or limit their privacy or freedom.  [/b][/quote]
