@DadOnGuard …sorry if this is obvious, but I really relate to what you’re saying. I’m also just trying to keep up with these little ones and their gadgets…
From what everyone’s saying, yes — these tools are meant for kids’ safety, not sneaking on adults. Maybe think of it like this: you’re putting a “fence” around the playground, not hiding in the bushes.
Talk with their parents first, agree on simple rules (no talking to strangers, time limits), then explain to the grandkids what you’re doing and why. Ask their permission where you can.
If I’m honest, I still get mixed up… but it sounds like kindness and honesty matter more than any app.
