track your teen
Would you put a GPS tracker on your car? Some may say it’s too much “big brother”, but as a mom with children who will be driving in a few years, I’m all for monitoring where my kids are when they’re out with MY car. Hey, if it’s good enough for Hulk Hogan, then GPS real time tracking is good enough for me! Seriously though, while I can’t see monitoring my child’s every move, it would be a handy tool to ensure that your child is where they say they are, simply because a kid who knows you CAN see where they are 24/7 is less likely to go astray, right? I believe in giving kids room to make mistakes, but I also believe in letting them know what’s expected, and if they say “I’m going to the library”, well, the car should be at the library, right? I know all of the tricks - I’ve tried everything at one time or another…LOL!
I would put a GPS in my child’s car just to check up on them.
It won’t help much when they leave their car at the library and take a friends
Would be good if they get lost on a road trip, you could point them in the right direction with Google maps
I agree with Colleen. The trackers just keep your kids honest and teens need some encouragement to make the right choices. There is also a great magnet to put on your car when your child is driving on their permit - with you. Check out rookiedriver.net. I bought 2 of the magnets and use them every time my new driver is driving. When he gets his license I will get one of these GPS trackers - just to ease my mind!
As a mother of a teen who will soon qualify to drive, this technology will hopefully give us peace of mind and make our kids more responsible. I recently heard that they are also bringing in a device that will be able to tell us if they are speeding. We need to find ways of keeping our kids safe…. even if they don’t think they need us to be watching over them.
