FAQs
How many hours should kids spend on the phone each day?
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children aged 2 to 5 should have no more than 1 hour of screen time per day. For children aged 6 and up, consistent limits should be placed on the time they spend using electronic media. Parents should consider the age and needs of their children when making decisions about screen time usage.
Is it okay to monitor my child’s phone?
“It’s 100 percent your right to check your minor children’s devices,” says Bill Wiltse, President of the Child Rescue Coalition. When monitoring your child’s phone, it is important to have open and honest communication with them and to respect their privacy as much as possible. Ensure that any monitoring you do is legal and ethical.
What are the symptoms of cell phone addiction?
Signs that your child may be addicted to their cell phone include:
- Being excessively glued to their phone.
- Becoming anxious or irritable when separated from their phone.
- Interrupting conversations or activities to use their phone.
- Neglecting responsibilities or tasks due to phone usage.
- Losing interest in other activities, such as sports or hobbies.
- Experiencing physical symptoms like headaches or eye strain from excessive phone use.

Will my children know I am tracking and monitoring their cell phone usage?
If your child’s phone is an Android device, you can set up MobileTracking Kids to operate in stealth mode, making it hidden on the phone’s home screen for discreet monitoring. For iOS devices, stealth mode is not available, so the app will be visible. Both Android and iOS versions of MobileTracking Kids include features to prevent uninstallation. We strongly recommend having an open conversation with your child before using parental control software. Discussing the reasons for monitoring and setting clear expectations can help build trust and ensure they understand that it is for their safety and well-being.
