With today's technology, we have to be more aware of what is available to our kids.  Most of our kids are good kids, however sometimes they don't make the best decisions. It's growing up, but with today's technology sometimes it can help our kids make the wrong decisions.  There is an app that can be downloaded that allows your kids to hide stuff from you on their phones.

Most parents in today's world are on top of what is going on with their children.  They have rules set out on what is and what isn't allowed when it comes to smartphones, tablets, electronics in general.  They check their child's phone on a regular basis.  However there are new apps out on the market daily that allows users to hide certain things.

So we want to keep you up to date.  One of the new apps available is the Calculator% app.  It isn't a calculator, this app allows for pictures to be hidden.  Here's more information on the app

So I guess the best thing to do is first check your child's phone for this app and the next thing is if you see an app on their phone research and find out more on the app.

I know we want the best for our kids and we talk to them about the dangers of what they send to other people and what they post on social media. However, sometimes, our kids don't listen and go and do their own thing. We just wanted to keep you aware of some of the apps that your child might be using.
