Your kid doesn’t need privacy. They need parenting
They call it “gentle parenting” now. But what I see… is moms scared to upset their kids. Afraid to say no. Afraid to check the phone. Afraid to be the bad guy. I check the tablet. I open the apps. I watch the videos. I watch the games. I will check his future phone. I will check the DMs.
