You Can Track Your Kids Anywhere, Anytime — But Should You?
 
You probably remember the old PSA that aired before the nightly news: "It's 10 p.m. Do YOU know where your children are?" As Suzanne Zuckerman points out in a new piece, it's a pretty great barometer for how much both technology and cultural expectations around parenting have changed in the last 30 years: "Now, with phones and smartwatches enabling geo-tracking, and even devices that allow parents to monitor their teen's driving speed or turn off their kid's car music remotely, we are empowered with the tools to communicate with our children every moment we're apart."

But should we? It's an important question to consider – give it a read and some thought, too.
