[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who say it’s just for convenience or your kids don’t mind or whatever - what if your kids asked to not be tracked anymore? What would your response be? [/quote]

Maybe try reading the responses to this same question instead of asking it over and over again.

They can choose not to be tracked when they are adults living on their own. Until then, it's not different than any other rule I choose to have in my house. [/quote]

It’s a little different, but ok.

Some people are acting like it is no big deal and just for convenience or whatever. My guess is that is not exactly accurate for some of those parents.  And they are saying it is not a big deal but it probably would be if the kids asked to not be tracked anymore. [/quote]

Teens have all kinds of rules they don't like or agree with. If I based every decision on how my kids feels about it, I'd be in a world of pain.[/quote]

Right, but you’re missing my point.  It’s likely a bigger deal to their kids than some parents here think it is and/or the tracking is not just for convenience.  [/quote]

I disagree that it is a big deal to my kids. If it was, they'd ask me to stop. To the contrary, when they got to an age where I told them they were free to opt out, they didn't.

Digital natives are used to be tracked. Have you ever seen a Snapmap? They know where their friends are at all time and vice versa. This is just normal life to them.

If you're getting parenting advice from at Atlantic clickbait article, you're doing something very, very wrong.[/quote]
