Know when your child gets to school

The text you want at 3:40 pm is not where are you, it is I am at school. Qustodio's family locator turns that into a notification: save school as a place, and your phone tells you when your child gets there.

Places can be anything you visit often: home, school, a grandparent's house, football practice. Each one triggers an alert when your child arrives and another when they leave, so a late bus shows up as the absence of a notification rather than an anxious call.

The map shows where your child is now and where they have been, which helps on the days when plans change. Location monitoring is listed on the Android and iOS versions of Qustodio, so it follows your child's phone, not the family laptop.

Older children often prefer to know it is on. Say so, explain which places are saved and agree what you will use it for. Used that way, location sharing is a safety net rather than surveillance.

Location monitoring is among the features in the paid plans, and signing up for a free Qustodio account includes a trial of the Premium features, which is the quickest way to see the map on your own phone.
