With so many location tracking apps available, it’s tempting to use them as a tool for constant monitoring. But are they really necessary for all parents, or do they create more anxiety than safety? How do you decide when to use tracking apps, and at what age is it appropriate to stop using them altogether?
Personally I think tracking apps can be helpful, but they’re definitely not one-size-fits-all. I tried Parental Control Kroha last year when my 12-year-old started taking the bus alone. It worked fine, but I made sure to talk with her first and set clear boundaries so she didn’t feel like I was spying. Eventually, I stopped checking unless she was really late. If you’re new to this, my advice is: don’t just install something and stay silent—kids are smart, and if they feel trusted, they’re usually more responsible anyway.
Thank you for raising a very real and painful topic in today’s digital age. I think using a location tracking app for your child can bring a sense of security, but if abused, it can easily cause excessive anxiety and damage the trust between parents and children.
