Do you track your kids location using their phone when they are not home?
How often do you check? When they are away from home for the year do you ever check?
Is it invasive to do it?
What ages?
Just wondering what is typical.

My kids don't have smartphones, but I have a child with HF ASD that wears a tracker that I check once in a while.

It is situational. I don’t track them for the sake of tracking them.
I track them when they are in Ubers and I track them on their way home if I need to pick them up at a bus stop and I need to know when to get them.
If I was making them a surprise party and a friend was the decoy, I might track them to see when they were getting there.
I do not spy on them but do use it to make sure they are safe and to coordinate times. They know I can track and they know how to turn it off. One keeps it off and turns it on when I tell her to, the other just leaves it on.

When my now 14 year old started taking himself places (around age 11) I would put an air tag in his pocket so I could always know where he was. After a while I stopped and Im happy I did. I think we do our kids a big disservice by over monitoring them. Theres a sense of peace in leaving your house and being alone. If I don't want to be tracked, why would I track my adult sized child? He also learned to call me from where he was and tell me he was there and when he planned to be home. Or ask permission to go somewhere.

Unless a child has special needs and needs a tracking device for safety I will not put one on my children. I do have teens and pre teens that navigate their workd in varied levels of independence. Life is a learning curve. I teach them safety, sometimes they listen sometimes they don't..
They are learning and im guiding them.
Lots of tefillos on the way
