my kid is 12 and im worriedabout what theyre seeing online. every time i bring it up they just say nothing and close the tab. any way i can actually see what sites theyve visited without them finding out? just want to keep them safe
Yeah totally normal concern, 12 is right in that sweet spot where they’re curious but not great at self-regulating yet. Easiest starting point: if it’s an Android, set up Google Family Link - it shows browsing history and lets you approve/block sites, no sneaky stuff needed, it’s just built-in parental controls. If you want something more detailed, apps like Bark or Qustodio are solid and will flag sketchy content without you having to read every single search.
