Spotlight On iParent.TV
58 percent of 10- to 12-year-old kids believe they know how to hide their online activities from their parents. This is a pretty unsettling statistic! As a busy parent, business owner, wife, friend, daughter, etc., etc., it can be difficult to always stay on top of all the tech advances.
