I've wrestled with this a lot! When my kids were younger, I used a tracking app occasionally when they were at crowded events, just for a quick peace of mind check. But I always told them beforehand and we discussed why. It's definitely a balance. It's worth considering your child's maturity and communication skills more than just their age. If you're curious about your reaction speed and focus under pressure, there's a fun little reaction time test you can find online – might be interesting to see how you perform! Cps Test
