This episode is all about shining a light on what the research shows, and what we have seen to be the "best practices" when it comes to parental monitoring. We are going to be discussing what parental monitoring is, privacy law myths surrounding parental monitoring software, the difference between “spying” and parental “monitoring”, strengths and weaknesses of using parental monitoring software, types of monitoring options available to parents that we recommend, and lastly asking the question, “should parents be using monitoring software?”
