I was looking at this phone for kids recently: http://tinitell.com/ http://tinitell.com/ - just GPS and voice, but let's a kid be in contact.
I'd be curious if people have tried this sort of thing, and if it works... mostly if it works psychologically. Do you find yourself really giving your kid more freedom? Does it address the anxieties that keep us from giving kids freedom?
It doesn't address the highly structured time, but at least I'm doing OK there by just not opting in to most structured activities.
- schlowmo 10y agoI don't want to blame any parents for the desire of knowing where their kids are and that they're save. But at the same time I'm very glad that I was born two decades before parents started to think that making their kids carying a GPS tracker is the prequisite for "more freedom". I'm sure my parents were better off many times with not knowing where I was. So I think the psychological part isn't going to play out well - at least for the kids.
