When your teen's tracking dot starts moving

I remember the night I couldn't sleep, my phone clutched in my hand as I watched the little dot that represented my teenager moving across the screen. They were supposed to be at their friend's house, but the dot told a different story.

Back then, I told myself tracking was for their safety. But really, I was checking if they drove too fast (like I did as a teen), verifying they were actually on campus (not ditching like I once did), and making sure they were really at that sleepover (and not with that boy/girl, like my teenage self).

Every notification brought anxiety. Every route deviation triggered worry and frustration. I was exhausted from being my teens' personal surveillance system.

But what if I told you there's another way? 📱➡️💝

Imagine your teen wanting to tell you where they are. Picture them coming to you with their struggles instead of hiding them. This isn't a fantasy – it's what happens when you learn the art of connection-based conversations.

I discovered this approach when my middle child was a senior, and it transformed our relationship.When teens don't anticipate your disappointment or judgment, they stop hiding things from you. They start coming to you first. (Yes, really!) ✨
