"As any parent knows, it is our responsibility to keep ourselves engaged in our kids' lives at all times and ensure they are conducting themselves properly by having access to their accounts. I now feel better equipped to handle this situation in a less intrusive way. I love the practical, realistic and relatable ideas for building communication skills in my child and can honestly admit I was reminded of a thing or two to remember as an adult as well.
