Unfortunately with parents working long hours and many of us commuting it is hard to keep an eye on your child’s commute (ie ride or walk) from home to school. That’s why there are several cool techie devices out there that will provide you with some comfort. You could always purchase a cell phone for your child, however you would have the challenges with your son or daughter trying to find the watch in cases of an emergency and also the child proofing of the phone to ensure only trusted contacts are on their dial list.
