I remember leaving my father’s hand, to go after an awesome pair of shoes when I was five. The next time I saw him,I was held very tightly by him for long, which was only after a few minutes. That day, I was unable to understand the sheer panic that made him shake, but I guess today I can.
Your kid is either two or twenty,
they mean the world to you and your world shatters even with a thought that
something might happen to them. So whenever they put a step outside the home,
the alarm regarding their safety buzzes off. It won’t be an exaggeration to say
that nothing is more significant to you than your child’s safety.
The times have changed and so are
the ways to watch your child. Earlier, children used to go up and down in the
neighborhoods only and come back before dark. There were big families and many
cousins around to play with. But now the times have changed and so are the
concepts - for both parents and children. These days both parents have to move
out for their jobs leaving their small two-year old at the disposal of a nanny.
Similarly, an eight year old wants to go for a summer camp with his friends and
a thirteen year does not want to answer even if he comes late at night after
partying. One thing that has not changed is a parent’s concern for their
children!
For a two-year, parents need to
keep a check whether the caregivers are taking care of your child
appropriately. For tween and teens, parents need to know where the child is, Is
he/she safe and what are they up to? Different age, different requirements.
The market is engulfed with a
great deal of gadgets to help enhance the safety of your child. Baby Cameras,
GPS watches, Child locators, GPS trackers,
numerous Apps that can be installed on Smartphones, just to start the list.The
features of these gadgets are varied – simple ones might only tell you the
location of your child, whereas more complex ones might be able to tell you who
are they with and what are they doing. For children like five, you can keep the
tracker in their bags mandating them never to take it out. For intelligent genre
or for teens, you can go on installing solutions that keep track of them in
stealthy way.What all you have to do is pick up the right one for your child’s
safety.
My point is that, instead of restraining you (for job, movie, or social function,
etc) or your child from moving out (for playing, partying, etc), leverage the
benefits of technology to get peace of mind by ensuring your child’s safety.
Usage of these gadgets can empower you with the freedom to live your life your
way and let your children live them their way. Just try them to believe me!
One point which
I want to mention explicitly here is that all these devices can only enhance
child’s safety, but not ensure it!
