Turbulent Transition
Teens struggle with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Caught in the cusp between childhood and adulthood, they are keen to assert their independence and rebel against parental authority. They become secretive, placing their trust in their peer groups, distancing themselves from their families. Their natural curiosity veers towards the ‘forbidden’. They seek new experiences, thrills and adventure, without considering their potential consequences.Unprecedented Exposure
Easy access to multiple devices, and through them to the internet, has given teens unprecedented exposure to the world around them. In most ways, this has been a positive development. But like all good things in life, it’s prone to misuse and exposes them to potentially undesirable, profane, violent or sexually explicit content and that is where the Parental Control App comes into the picture.
