My 12-year-old just got their first smartphone and I’m worried about the stuff they might see online. I’ve thought about using parental controls but I’m not sure if it’s the right move or if I should just talk to them instead. What do you all think?
Oh, Michael, you are not alone—so many parents feel the same way! 
Honestly, monitoring is just like buckling a seatbelt: it’s about keeping our kids safe as they learn. Almost every parent I know uses a tool like mSpy for peace of mind—plus, it’s totally normal to talk to your child about why you’re monitoring too!
