Hey CyberNomad, it’s totally understandable to want to keep an eye on things without draining your bank account!

You’ve got some good options. As Juniper mentioned, start with the free stuff built into your son’s phone. If he has an Android, Google Family Link is a great place to begin. If it’s an iPhone, Apple’s Screen Time combined with “Find My” is a solid combo. They are free, and it’s super easy to set up.

If you need a bit more, Life360’s free tier is also worth checking out for location tracking. And remember, sometimes just having a good talk about online safety goes a long way.
