I never tracked my teenagers on an app. Our relationships are better for it.
I didn't use Life360 or another app to track my teens. Instead, I set clear rules and built trust. I know our relationships are stronger for it.
Heather Sweeney, a parent of two teenagers, has decided not to use an app like Life360 to track her kids' whereabouts. The author of this story explains that she never wanted to use such an app in the first place. Instead, she values face-to-face conversations or texts for communication within the family. Both of her kids are now 18 and 22 years old, and she believes that the trust they have built has strengthened their relationship.
The author mentions that when her oldest child obtained his driver's license in 2020, she realized her decision to not use tracking apps was helping to foster trust with her teenager. The author prefers conversations to spying and is thankful for the relationships she has with her adult children.
