T-Mobile Safe Summers

T-Mobile is setting out to keep your kids safe and families connected this summer with a host of great services (and great devices!) like FamilyWhere, which can track your kids' movement through the GPS on their phone. You can set up alerts at certain times to ensure your child is at a certain location by a certain time. The FamilyWhere service is free, but you can upgrade service for $9.99 per month so you can track all the phones on your account.

There's also WebGuard, another free add-on that restricts certain websites from being viewed by your child. The settings can be set for Child, Teen and Young Adult, opening up more content as your child grows in age - and social media experience.

I love the Family Where to track my son via cell phone. After all, they wouldn't let me put a chip in his ankle, so this is the next best thing!

my kids are older - we keep in touch via cell and email
When they first start driving, it becomes extremely important to get them trained to use handsfree devices in the car.
I RSVPed and then remembered a Drs apptmt was rescheduled to Monday so I don't think the timing will work out. I80 does not lend itself to carefree travel with little time to spare. Hope to see more NJ events!

I use my cell phone to take a picture of the kids when we are going to be in a crowded place. That way I have a recent picture of them in the outfit they are wearing, just in case we get separated.

We use the GPS locator so that we always know where the kids are!

I usually use GPS tracker to keep an eye on my kid and his current whereabouts. Why not, it's easy and always at hand!
