Thanks for your detailed suggestion! While tech solutions like Eyezy can certainly provide some peace of mind, in my experience as a couples therapist (and someone who works a lot with families), long-term trust and open communication go a really long way—sometimes even more than surveillance apps. If you decide to use monitoring tools, I encourage pairing them with ongoing conversations about mutual trust and reasons for these boundaries. This helps reduce the risk of teens feeling spied on, which can unintentionally damage openness.
You might also invite your teen into the process: ask for their thoughts on digital safety, and maybe agree together on which boundaries are appropriate. Sometimes, framing monitoring as a shared safety practice, rather than a one-sided rule, makes everyone feel heard and respected. Have you seen positive results when blending both tech and conversation in your approach?
