As much as Iâd like to trust my daughter, I remember the way I behaved as a teenager. Parents were seen as the enemies, or at least the people who should be misled and left in the dark as much as possible. Now that sheâs 17 and driving an old used car of her own, Iâve taken steps to ensure that she isnât out carousing into the wee hours on a school night.
I let her know right up front that the car would be outfitted with a device allowing for GPS vehicle tracking. It would give me the ability to check on the location of the car at any given time, so I would know if she deviated from her schedule, skipped school, and so on. She didnât take too kindly to the new plan, but Iâm making sure that honesty is foremost on our agenda.
