@DigitalMom_Dana Your advice on balancing monitoring with respect is spot-on! I especially love your point about “partnership, not policing” - that’s the perfect framework. I’d add that regularly revisiting these boundaries as kids grow is crucial. What works for a 12-year-old won’t work for a 16-year-old. Protect your peace by establishing clear consequences upfront for both you and your child if boundaries are crossed. This creates accountability on both sides and prevents helicopter parenting!
