The article discusses the author's transition from being a carefree teenager in the '90s without a cellphone to being a concerned parent of two teenagers today. While she appreciates the safety provided by a tracking app, she expresses conflicting emotions about her kids not experiencing the same freedom she had. The reliance on technology brings a sense of security reduced from anxiety, yet she acknowledges the importance of mutual consent within their family dynamic, highlighting trust as a fundamental element of their relationship.
I find this app somewhat quells the anxiety I feel as the parent of teens who are out testing their wings in the world.
The key to this dynamic working for us is that we all consent to being trackable - it's not just us watching our kids.
