Reply To: Tracking devices for children

Maybe it’s a matter of knowing our kids and what developmental level they are up to. I have a toddler who is a runner. Even his playgroup Morah told us to use a leash with him outdoors. Twice he bolted into the street, once in front of an oncoming car. It would be impractical to use a “leash” in a park where the point is to have them run. Thus, the Teddy bear clip comes into play. Not that I would use it to substitute watching my kids (I’m on them like a hawk), but I’d know if I’m running after one I could check on another at a moments notice. That’s me. The tracking device could be misused to track before needed or once kids have earned their independence. But what about between 8-12, when kids are being trained?
