Part 3. Final Thoughts

Whatever you do, the most important thing is to make sure your child is safe. Mobile phones take up too much energy and time for parents and children. They all bow their heads and play with mobile phones, unwilling to communicate. If parents can put down their mobile phones first and drive their children to participate in outdoor activities, I believe that children are also very happy. If you're really worried, you can use SpyX, a monitoring software program that monitors everything on your child's phone to make sure you know what's going on.
