You may find a few software companies, but there are some things you may want make sure when you purchase monitoring software.

  1. Pick monitoring software that you can access anywhere. You don’t want your child to get upset with you if they catch you looking in their phone. One of the great things about some monitoring apps and software is the ability to access them from another device remotely and deploy the software undetected.
  2. Choose an app or software where you can track real-time. If your child has gone missing, you want to be able to see where they are. Also, if they say they are going one place and really are at another, you will know. Remember that commercial slogan – “It’s 9 o’clock, do you know where your kids are?” Well, do you? With the correct software you will.
  3. Pick a monitoring app or software that you can install undetectable to the user from an attachment. It may be difficult to get the phone away from your teenager since they usually have it attached to them 24/7.

Why do you want remote monitoring software for your children? There are a few reasons why you may want to monitor your kids PC and cell phone usage.

Some parents want to make sure that there are no predators or cyber bullies that are preying on your child. Other parents want to make sure that their kids are where they say they are. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t hurt to put the software on your child’s phone or PC. Many children in trouble will give warning signs. It may be in the form of getting in trouble at school or withdrawing from friends and family.

As a parent, you have to listen to those signs and find out what is going on with your child. They may be too embarrassed or ashamed to talk to you about it. Using the information that you get from monitoring your child’s activity can help you approach the subject in a respectful, non-confrontational way. You wouldn’t want to find out after it’s too late that your child was being bullied incessantly or stalked by an online predator. You may trust your children; however, you can’t trust the people that are lurking out there in cyber space. Just turn on the nightly news in any big city and you will hear a story about a child being abducted or worse.

The world we are living in now dictates being an advocate and going above and beyond when caring for your children. Finding a company that provides parents with software to track their kid’s smart phone usage is important. Look for a provider that you trust with many features that are easy to use. Remember, as a parent we need to be an advocate for our children. We also need to protect them from the unique issues that occur from being online. It’s a different world that the one we grew up in, so keeping tabs remotely should be a priority.

    Hi Cristian,

    I agree with all your points above. It is always good to separate children from adult and unsafe content because if they once fall into its addition, then it won’t be easy for them to get out…..
