2. They’re Traveling Somewhere New

从探索城里的新社区到背包环游世界,孩子们热爱自由。这就是为什么许多家长会跟踪青少年的位置。

这是在新的和不舒服的情况下给自己带来一点安心的好方法。许多去远方旅行的青少年都希望父母能按需获取他们的位置信息(前提是他们使用的不是像 Eyezy 这样的隐身模式应用程序)。

3. You Want to Build Trust

这看起来很奇怪,对吗?父母因为想建立信任而跟踪孩子,只会适得其反。如果你信任他们,为什么要跟踪他们?但事实上,信任通常是要靠自己争取的,而不是自动给予的。

如果您的孩子曾经违背过您的意愿,但您仍然想给他们一些自由,那么时不时地查看一下他们的位置可能是您获得充分信任所需的小步骤。
