When I tell parents that secretly spying on their kids' internet activities is not a great look, they ask me "Well, what SHOULD I do?"

There is no all-purpose parenting answer, but this report from Malwarebytes outlines many of the key considerations: https://www.malwarebytes.com/resources/attachments/parenting-and-growing-up-online-10-2022.pdf

@evacide I have told people to stop putting spyware on their kids devices for years and it always ends so badly. They never listen to me.

From the time our kids were age 6 or so, not once did we enter their rooms without first knocking and waiting for an answer.

I can't understand parents who don't teach their kids by example that their most fundamental right is a right to privacy.

@kims As soon as mine started closing the door (which seemed pretty late to me--maybe 10 or 11?) we started doing that. I HATED it when my mom would just barge in to my room w/o knocking.
