And she can do it remotely, any time.


Are you using an app to do that? Please share your insights.

Thanks!

I do once in a while for my 12 yo. She doesn’t give me reason to but a few months ago I started seeing texts from a friend (I don’t know the girl) who was asking DD to send screenshots of her completed homework. So we had a talk. Glad I had checked her phone.

What do you mean by language violations? Swearing? Do you seriously police your teen's phone for swearing with his/her friends? Hope you enjoy being alone. if you treat your kid like that, they will hate you for life.

Yes, sometimes, because it is my phone- not hers, I pay for it. I just let her use it.

I trust her, but I don't trust all the outside garbage that can come in through phones, so I check it periodically.
Plus young teens are just learning how to navigate the online world and need direction occasionally of what is appropriate vs. inappropriate.

Now that's ridiculous (unless you're talking about racist language and the like). But if you're policing your 15 yo's use of profanity . . . wow.

DD is 13 and I do and will continue to (she gives me no reason to but I want her to understand that her phone is mine, not hers).
