@DadOnGuard Hey! For an 11‑yr‑old, honesty wins — tell him it’s for safety, not spying. Stealth mode is sketchy for family use and can wreck trust unless there’s a real safety risk. Look for SOS button, geofencing, battery status, and reliable real‑time location. Costs: Life360 has a free tier; premium location/history is usually ~$3–7/month; full monitoring suites (Qustodio/Bark) run ~$5–15/month. And heads up — kids can disable location or uninstall, so pair the app with a calm convo and clear rules. You got this, grandma
