Being a parent is hard. Parents have too many things to worry about when it comes to their kids, ranging from childcare and schooling to eating healthy and screen time. So one would have to wonder why we would add unneeded worries into our busy day-to-day lives.<\/p>\n
The problem with that last sentence is that parents look for convenience. Anything that can save time or add convenience is seen as a plus. Services like Netflix, Amazon subscription delivery, or dining delivery quickly come to mind.<\/p>\n
However, apps are just the tip of the iceberg. We live in the growing Internet of Things world, so there are also smart devices that can help out parents, like baby monitors, kid tablets, and Barbie dolls that can all help in watching or entertaining the rugrats.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, in the hustle and bustle of life, parents think of how to make things easier and think \u201cdo my kids like this?,\u201d rather than \u201cis this secure?\u201d This is where convenience can come back to bite us in the ass.<\/p>\n
