Given that excessive mobile phone use affects children's grades and increases the risk of depression and poor sleep quality, parents' mistrust of technology is understandable. Parents often feel helpless when it comes to disciplining their children and establishing morals and values in them.

They should, however, begin to embrace technology and stop worrying since they can use it to their benefit. And by this I mean using monitoring apps.
