Here’s how I use Bark with my own kids and why it’s been such a game changer: (try bark right here https://barkparentalcontrols.pxf.io/c/5160003/2153860/17000)Comprehensive Monitoring: Bark monitors texts, emails, YouTube, and even 30+ social media platforms. But the best part? It flags potential issues like cyberbullying, inappropriate content, online predators, or signs of depression or anxiety. I can’t tell you how relieved I was when Bark caught a concerning text exchange before it became a bigger issue. Yes, you can monitor kids text messages, with a degree of privacy for them. Custom Alerts: This is where the app shines for moms who don’t have time to micromanage every app or conversation. Bark sends you a notification only if something needs your attention. That means I don’t have to waste time scrolling through endless messages or posts—it’s already done for me!Balance Between Safety and Privacy: One thing I’m always conscious of is how I approach my kids’ privacy. I want them to have freedom, but I also want to protect them. Bark strikes the perfect balance by not spying on every detail but giving me enough insight when something’s off. It helps create trust between you and your kids, so they don’t feel like you’re constantly “big brother-ing” their every move.In my opinion Bark is much better than Qustudio or Famisafe based on how dedicated they are to keeping kids safe online. What kind of phone is a Bark Phone? In short, it's an Android.

Now, I know that phrase, “throwing everything I own away,” can sound a little drastic. But I’m here to tell you that in 2013, as a family of five, we did exactly that. We packed up a single suitcase for each of us and moved from Alaska to Florida, leaving behind all the clutter. It was a monumental shift for my family, one that I had no idea would lead to such profound mental health benefits.Let me walk you through how we did it, why we did it, and what it changed for me, especially as a mom.► 💻ONE OF THE VERY FIRST THINGS I DID AFTER I DECLUTTERED WAS START THERAPY. HERE'S A GREAT ONLINE COUNSELING TO TRY: https://onlinetherapy.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=2&aff_id=4059There are a lot of online therapy platforms out there, and this one I trust. I will be completing an online-therapy.com review shortly, and doing it in comparison to my betterhelp review. It's hard to find an online counselor you can trust, and I know recommendations like this can be really helpful. Therapy online has become very normal, and useful, especially for moms. ► 💻 GET THE BEST DECLUTTERING COURSES FOR MOMS: » https://motherhoodsimplified.com/11 » https://motherhoodsimplified.com/decluttering-simplified-2024► 🌟 JOIN OUR FAMILY: » YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@motherhoodsimplifiedinc » INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/motherhood_simplified » BLOG: https://motherhoodsimplified.com/blog » FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2010014145929427► 💻 READ THE BLOG POST: » https://motherhoodsimplified.com/throwing-everything-i-own-away__________► 📋 FREE 30-PAGE DECLUTTERING CHECKLIST: » https://motherhoodsimplified.com/not► 🌱 FREE DECLUTTERING CHALLENGE: » Sign up here: https://motherhoodsimplified.com/ghost►💰FREE DIY DECLUTTERING PLAN: » Grab here: https://motherhoodsimplified.com/DIY__________► 💻 MORE BLOG POSTS TO READ: » Declutter Your Home In 5 Simple Steps https://motherhoodsimplified.com/declutter-your-home-in-5-steps/ » How to Stop Buying Clutterhttps://motherhoodsimplified.com/stop-buying-clutter/ » Responsible Decluttering: An Honest Conversation About Goodwill https://motherhoodsimplified.com/radically-responsible-decluttering-a-conversation-about-goodwill/► 🍿 MORE RELATED VIDEOS: » Ghost Your Clutter Playlist: • https://youtu.be/Eqv6Z9uyLag?si=YshR9p6ZJKdYLhnc » Clear Your Clutter Playlist: • https://youtu.be/QRs5TbOUmLY?si=nyQfp8a6FQVImDl5 » Clutter Chronicles Playlist: • https://youtu.be/-dkva4_7srM?si=MoP_OmUSglkH91jc__________► FAVORITE RECOMMENDATIONS Online Therapy - https://onlinetherapy.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=2&aff_id=4059 Bark parental control app for kids https://www.bark.us/?ref=SIMPLIFY__________ABOUT MOTHERHOOD SIMPLIFIEDI’m a mom just like you who has decluttered her entire home.
