Teens and Privacy - Should I 'Spy' on My Child?

Wanting more privacy and time alone doesn’t necessarily mean your child has something to hide. Secrecy goes along with the development of independence – it’s a natural part of adolescence. Parents often wonder how much privacy their children need and ask me if it’s okay to violate it. Personally, I believe there should be a direct link between the amount of responsibility, consistency and honesty that children show and the amount of privacy they’re allowed to have.
