lol I don't want to get lost in analogies, but these sweets are in their pocket. Their friends are giving them new brands and better sweets. You know what sweets you have in the cabinet, you have no idea how many sweets your kid is eating per day. This is all pretty generic through when considering the entire childhood. Of course you're gonna be there and watch your kid so they're not over doing it at age 4, but 12+? Eh, it's an uphill battle you should stay vigilant on till they're legally and showing at least basic adult responsibility.
If you're nearby your kid when you're in the park or they're at school interacting with other kids (etc), you're gonna be curious and want to make sure they're doing alright but just kinda peripheral paying attention to their actions while mingling yourself. It can be treated respectfully and non intrusively by just checking your router (other devices), what kind of traffic is coming in and out (generic safety), and maybe something along the lines of just asking to see their app activity in their account to get an idea of how they're spending their time without diving right into their private data.
I don't really understand the disconnect going on here and maybe everyone is a lot more innocent than I was. I for sure was up to some bullshit online at a young age and that was dial-up. We're really looking at everything like how the election went, social influencers, and young people getting radicalized online and just throwing our hands up saying it's all good?
