As a parent, you want to protect your children from anything that may cause them harm. You want to monitor their every move in order for you to stop anything that may look dangerous before something bad happens to them.
However, you have to remember that you are not always there for your children and there is no way that you can monitor your children’s activities 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
