Teen mobile phone usage
Is it ever okay to spy on your teen's mobile phone usage? My child is 14 but I still feel I need to keep an eye on what he browses.
I won’t spy. I will openly check. I will honestly tell my child why I want to check and that I’m not trying to infringe their privacy. I will also constantly educate him/her on what is right and wrong, what value system we stand by. Parenting is an ongoing thing. It doesn’t mean 14 and they are old enough to know what is right and good, old enough to decide, make decisions, do whatever they want. We all know a child doesn’t mature until much later in life and we are here to guide, teach, correct. Keeping an eye on them is v impt. Shows them we care enough to bother. Better we leave an imprint in our own kids life than for someone else to do that for us.

Depends. If the kid knows that he or she is being watched, they will feel they are not being trusted.
Yes. There are some apps that can monitor your child's phone browsing history.
I'll give him some space since if he is 14
Yes it’s ok! It’s called parenting
Yes. It is a good idea.
