Cell phone and iPhone use among kids has become commonplace. Studies indicate 75% of 12-17 year-olds now have cell phones. 88% percent of that number are text-messagers. Parents need educate their children of the responsibility that goes along with this constant connectivity. This can be achieved through a set of cell phone rules and setting good examples themselves. Kids learn by watching adults, and this includes cell phone habits. 
Compulsive Checking: Checking their phones at the dinner table or during family time. Parents need to refrain from this activity themselves and set a good example. Leave all cell phones in another part of he house with ringers “off” during mealtime.

Be Accountable: Just as adults need to pay the piper if they exceed texting and minutes, kids should be held accountable as well. Coughing up the extra dough to cover the charges reminds kids cell phones are a privilege, not something they automatically “get.”

Cut Off Times: Dr. Michael Rich a.k.a The Mediatrician, reports a direct connection between kids, cell phones, and lack of sleep. “Kids may sleep with it on a nightstand or even under their pillow, just in case they receive middle-of-the-night messages. When a text does arrive, their sleep is interrupted and they never makes it to stage 4 REM sleep. This stage is when the dreamwork necessary for resting and repairing brain circuits and moving experiences from short- to long-term memory takes place. Not a good stage to skip since adolescence is the period of greatest physical and intellectual development since infancy!”

Outline clear usage rules for your tween or teen and for extra monitoring, add our Mobsafety Ranger GPS iPhone or android app to your phone. This amazing little app allows parents to initiate cut-off times on their children’s phone and render the Internet etc inaccessible after a certain time at night.

Social Scanner’s sister site Mobsafety has a pair of exemplary monitoring apps for Android and iPhones.

Mobsafety Ranger Browser is a fully customizable Parental Control and Safe Internet Filter that is specifically designed for iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. Read more about it HERE.

Mobsafety Ranger Browser GPS is the “next step up” in customizable Parental Controls and Safe Internet Filters. It has all the awesome feature of the Ranger, but here’s just one of the valuable perks you get with the GPS upgrade:

Thwarts thieves:

If thieves steal a phone they change the SIM card this renders a typical carrier-based location method useless because we have a software based solution it works even if the thieves change the SIM card.

Device Location :

 Parents can locate a lost device on-line when they are close to the device they can make it “scream” (think car alarm) in order to find it.

GeoFence:

With a few clicks the parents can create a GeoFence around their neighborhood or town when the child/device is outside of that range the parents receive a text message parents can log-in and see where their child/device is at all times.

If you feel you need better monitoring options for your tween or teen, this is for YOU. Look up the Mobsafety Ranger GPS app at the App Store and use coupon code GetGPSFree to get this awesome upgrade at NO CHARGE.
