Because they can’t call you or they might not call you!

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!
