What is peace of mind worth to you? With a daughter approaching her teen years all too quickly, it leaves me wondering most days where my baby girl has gone. She’s dreaming of cars and ugghh… boys has me scared to death to let her venture out on her own. Some say I’m that “over- protective parent”, others say I should be more protective. I feel I’ve found that happy medium of trust, with a healthy dose of suspicion, because well, I was her age once and I know the stuff I did.
Working in the GPS Tracking industry, she knows mom will be watching. She’s a good kid to begin with, but this world is crazy and you can never be too careful. The agreement we have is once she gets her license there will be a GPS Tracking unit installed on her car. If she wants to have a car and drive, she has to agree with those terms. We talked about it, and at first she didn’t like the idea of it all. Once we sat down as a family and explained that this is for her safety, and how it works, she was much more receptive.
I’ll tell you like I have told my own child. It’s not about spying on your kids. It’s about peace of mind, safety. If it’s midnight and they were supposed to be home at 11, and you can’t reach them on their cell phone, it takes a couple of clicks to locate them on the web. Are they in a safe spot at a friend’s house or are they broke down on the side of the road? It’s just an extra layer of added security and protection.
With monthly fees as little as $9.95 a month, it’s something every parent should have. You can set speeding alerts that notify you if they go over a predetermined speed, helping to keep them safe and teaching them safe driving habits. You can also set a Geofence for areas you don’t want them to leave or go into, and get alerted by text message or email if they do. In today’s world it’s an extra step to help keep your driving teenagers safe when you’re not around.
