CHECKING IN

Check in! Monitoring is caring

Monitoring can be as easy as...

  • Knowing the 3 W’s — where they are, whom they’re with, and what they’re doing

  • Checking in regularly — see how their day is going, or if they need anything

  • Creating clear and consistent rules and expectations

Parental monitoring is a set of parenting behaviors aimed at paying attention to the child’s whereabouts, activities, and companions. Parents who understand what is going on in the lives of their kids are better equipped to help them navigate new spaces and experiences, make important decisions, and generally provide support, when needed.
