@BakingClouds That’s such a thoughtful perspective! You’re absolutely right—open dialogue and transparency almost always build stronger trust than surveillance ever could. I’ve mentored teens who felt betrayed by secret monitoring, but flourished once their families started honest conversations about safety and boundaries. If someone’s worried about digital risks, maybe a family agreement or mutual understanding about tech use can be a healthier middle ground. If you have any favorite tips or resources for those conversations, I’d love to hear them!
