You might want to warn parents to look carefully when shopping in the app store. Also, I only use the free version and it has a lot of features, however Amy B uses the paid version (she has more driving children in her house, I only have 1 right now). I would encourage parents to use the free version for a month or so to make sure they like it, I think they will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of free features.<br> <br> <a href="https://www.parentingspecialneeds.org/article/summer-internet-surfing-keeping-kids-safe-online/">Summer Internet Surfing Keeping Kids Safe Online</a><br> <a href="https://www.parentingspecialneeds.org/article/summer-internet-surfing-keeping-kids-safe-online/">Summer Internet Surfing Keeping Kids Safe Online</a><br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.parentingspecialneeds.org/article/digital-safety-an-ongoing-conversation/">Digital Safety: An Ongoing Conversation</a><br> <a href="https://www.parentingspecialneeds.org/article/digital-safety-an-ongoing-conversation/">https://www.parentingspecialneeds.org/article/digital-safety-an-ongoing-conversation/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.parentingspecialneeds.org/article/screen-addiction-can-you-reset-your-childs-brain/">Screen Addiction!
