Being a single parent is extremely challenging and you feel like you are not able to focus on anything – your personal life, work and of course, the kids. Everything is a big chaos and you are always drained. To top it all, there is this never-ending guilt for not being with your kids much and you keep fearing bad things might happen to them. So, how do you deal with it all and compensate for not being with your kids?
Be Easy on Yourself
First, you need to keep reminding yourself that it’s okay and you are doing just fine. You need to give yourself a break every now and then and be easy on yourself. Stressing out will only make it worse. Take a deep breath and move onto taking practical steps to dealing with your kids.
Say Hello to Digital Parenting
What can greatly help your situation is getting a digital parenting app. FamilyTime is a perfect example. You can rely on the powerful parental controls to keep a safety check on your children and keep them safe from all online and offline threats.
Making FamilyTime Work for You
As you get done with signing up with FamilyTime, you need to install it on your child’s iOS or Android devices. After that, follow instructions to activate the child app and you’re done with the technical part. Now sign in and get things ready for an effortless monitoring and parental controls.
Whereabouts – No More a Mystery
You don’t have to call up your kids individually to find out where they are because with FamilyTime’s Location Tracking, you can find out yourself, no matter how much busy you are at work.
If your kids go to school on their own, try using Geo-fence places and add School and Home to the list to get instant alerts as soon as they reach home and school so you will know that they reached school on time and got back safely.
A Time for Work and a Time to Play
You can easily get them unplugged from their devices to focus on their homework. With Screen Time Locks for iOS and Android, you can set rules for homework and bed time so their phones will not work during those hours.
You can even block certain apps that you think are not fit for your kids like sexting and dating apps. This feature works on Android and iOS, too.
Driving Safety
Driving safety is a priority for parents and we all know teens can get really reckless while driving with their friends. You can let them have some fun while you catch up on your favorite show because if they try to over-speed, you will find out instantly with iOS TeenSafe speed limit alerts.
There are a million possibilities in which you can make FamilyTime parental controls work for you. It can be a great help when you need a little for yourself and yet don’t want to be out of touch with your kids. Get FamilyTime now and experience the real magic of effortless parenting yourself!
