Digital Connections 3 Apps All Parents Need
Parenting in today’s digital landscape can be an anxiety-inducing experience for the most well-equipped adult. Fortunately, this same wired-up world also includes numerous apps to help parents keep their kids safe. Here are some of our favorites.
Life360
Life360 is designed to help you monitor where your children are while still giving them freedom. Parents can request check-ins from kids, and the app can alert parents when their kids make it safely to their destination. The app also offers daily and weekly driving reports, alerts parents in the event of an emergency, and signals when teens are speeding. As an added bonus, Life360 is completely free! Plus, Phyllis uses this one!
Citrus and Avocado Salad
Inspired by Bon Appétit
Winter is the height of citrus season, so it’s a perfect time to experiment with oranges and lemons. Roasting the fruits concentrates their flavor and makes the skins edible, creating a blast of flavor for this winter salad.
Bark
Navigating your teen’s social media sites can be a constant battle. Balancing their privacy with your need to protect them is untenable. Bark monitors your child’s multiple social media accounts tagging certain phrases and word combinations and filters them out prior to hitting your child’s “in-box.” The app also offers resources for parents to help them talk to their children about safe sex, mental illness, cyberbul- lying, and more. Since its launch in 2015, Bark has even saved 33 lives by alerting parents to their children’s suicidal messages. Preteens can already be confused and frustrated without adding social media into the mix. To combat this, Digital Compass uses games to convey lessons about communicating, posting, and sharing on social media. The games prompt kids to make decisions, evolving as your child does, so each experience changes as your child learns and moves through the app. This app is a fun and easy introduction for children while fostering trust and confidence for parents. Even the most prepared parents and educated children can find themselves in bad situations.
