With technology now taking over our lives like nothing other, there also comes a fair share of burden and worry. Kids today are not what they used to be fifteen or twenty years back. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but in general kids today are bolder and love breaking rules. With the advent of smartphones and suave gadgets, it has become an added responsibility for parents to ensure that all the technology can be used for good.
A number of iPhone monitoring apps for tracking kids have surfaced, making it easier for parents to keep a track of who their kids are talking to over their phone and the kind of people with whom messages are being exchanged with. Many parents are worried sick as to what websites are their children visiting and how harmful an effect that could be on them.
Parents can try installing the Norton Family app on their kids’ phones which helps keep a track whether any age limit website is being visited or not. On visiting a blocked site, parents will receive alerts and can then take suitable steps. The simplicity of these apps is marvelous and parents need not know all about technology to use them. Another useful app PhoneSheriff helps parents record messages sent and received along with the date, time, and contact details of the person on the other side. In such case of a problem, right action can be taken.
Parents also often tend to (rightly) get worried about their kids’ location and where they are at present. StealthGenie is an amazingly helpful app and parents do not need to know all about technology to get a hang of its GPS locator feature. Along with a kid’s current location, a history of all his past locations can be viewed in case such details are required. The iPhone spy app is also a well recommended to stealthily keep an eye and ears on calls, messages and various multimedia accessed from the phone.
Apps like ikeyMonitor are not only instrumental in keeping a track on kids but also sending parents the information via email/FTP, access to which is protected by a password. But unnecessary monitoring could backfire so parents must occasionally introduce kids to website with tips with kids to make them realize and educate about the dangers of the virtual world. There is some great kids’ page, which provides handy tips about using iPhones smartly, but safely, making them must visits for kids.
