My House - My Rules!

Someone raised an interesting point to me the other day.

They asked “What do I tell them when I install SpyAgent when they demand privacy?”

First, here’s a post regarding SpyAgent and here’s the SpyAgent Monitoring Software product page to catch up.

When someone asks me about this, I usually respond “It’s your house. It should be YOUR rules.”

You may run into a heated debate with your older teenagers if you’ve waited this long to crack down on their internet behavior. Personally, if they want to lash out at you for trying to control their internet experience, I’d simply take away the internet and leave them with just a computer they can do word processing on.

Once they get over the fact you are taking control, you will be able to set proper ground rules. A decent parent to teenager discussion one evening can make the difference between your teen thinking its alright to physically hook up with anonymous people online or your teen declining such meeting requests due to the possibility they could be physically hurt or even killed.

Using a product like SpyAgent can really help you see your teen’s problem areas with their internet use. Like I’ve said in other posts, a monitoring software product can make a huge difference in just a week (even 24 hours!).

If you have any tips or advice you’d like to share, please email me at support -at- parentalmonitoringsoftware -dot- com.
