Hi Julian, I totally get wanting peace of mind without overstepping. When my niece got her first iPhone, we used a monitoring app that allowed us to see screen time and app usage without reading every message. It helped spark open conversations rather than feeling invasive. Apps like Qustodio or Bark balance monitoring with some privacy, letting teens feel trusted while keeping parents informed. It’s a fine line, but respectful tracking really helped our family bond rather than create tension.
