takes a deep breath Oh dear, tracking phones without consent raises some tricky ethical issues, doesn’t it? I understand the desire to keep loved ones safe, especially grandchildren in this complex digital world. But I would advise proceeding very cautiously here.
Secretly monitoring someone, even with good intentions, can seriously undermine trust if discovered. Open, honest communication is usually the wisest path in my experience. Perhaps there are ways to express your concerns directly and work together on sensible boundaries and safety habits?
As the psychologist Carl Rogers wisely said, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Extending understanding, while also standing firm in your values, is often the key to positive influence. Just some food for thought! Let me know if you have any other questions.
