I had a very good relationship with my niece.
When she hit puberty she and her parents went through a very tough patch. I was
there as a linking bridge between them. She and her parents were not on the
same page regarding some social behaviors and habits. She wanted to do things
in her own way. While the parents wanted to have the upper hand and thought
that they knew better. So this imbalance of power and control messed things up.
She even transferred her one semester to my town and stayed with me. In the
whole matter, I remember I acted like an immature girl and took her side.
Though it was in one way a sensible move still I could do better. I should have
handled this whole matter more sensible and as a mature person. More
importantly, I should have tried to think like her parents. But Alas. I did
not. Now that I have my own kid and she is pretty much acting the same and
unfortunately my niece is playing supporting the role I played in her life, I
am stuck. I think this is a punishment to hurt my sister. So I thought of going
to her directly to ask her how did she get out.
I will skip the whole part when after listening
to my whole confession she had a good laugh. The important thing is she is much
more aware of the latest technology and gave me many tips about digital
parenting. At the end of the meetup, I was happy that I took the courage to
come to her and ask her for help. She gave me a tip about the weapon that she
did not have in her time but today's parents can use it and get the benefit.
Here are the details about the tips that I got
for effective parenting of the digital generation.

She took me by surprise
in the strat when she simply asked me to eliminate smart gadgets and the internet
from the kid's life. Of course, it is impossible. At that time I thought that maybe she is
joking and may I wasted my 2-hour road trip to her because I am not getting
anything real from her.
·
But then she said of course
it is not possible to completely eliminate smart devices from the life of today's
teens. Then the other way out is that you should have a 24/7 report about the online and smart gadget
activity of the kid. That too was almost impossible. As kids these days don't
add parents to their Facebook and Instagram accounts, how can I even imagine knowing
about their 24/7 screen activity. I was about to leave after yelling but she
laughed and told me to sit down. At that time I was convinced that she was just
toying with me and having fun. But then came the important part.
·
She told me to get a mobile
tracker software and a computer monitoring software for the
kids.
·
This technology is alike
a secret helping hand from God for today's parents.
·
All you need to do is
select an app and get it installed in the target teenagers' devices when you
have physical access to it.
·
Keep in mind that you
should have physical access to the device at the time of installation. Once
installed you can handle everything remotely without any hurdles.
·
‘You can track their
live location with the help of the location tracking feature.

·
You can know to whom
they frequently call and text with the call log and text log feature.
·
You can manage their
screen time as well as many mobile tracker software let the users use
know about their screen activities in the form of screenshots and short videos.
·
The app also let the
parents know about online activities like web browsing history tracking, social
media monitoring, instant messenger chat app monitoring and more.
·
At first, I didn’t
believe that such technology exists in real. But she told me that she is using
the app for her youngest kid.
Though she was not using mobile tracker
software. She invested in a paid version named the TheOneSpy that offers
excellent services.
