    The apps they’re on today are shaping how they think, feel, and respond.

    Bark’s phones and smartwatches were the only tools that helped me parent like it’s 2025

    —without falling into 2005 helicopter panic.

    This Isn’t Just About Screen Time. It’s About Brain Wiring.

    “Monitor texts and apps (without invading)

    Block the chaos—while giving freedom.
    Know when it’s time to intervene.
    And still keep their trust intact.”

    Before the clicks shape their brains—shield them with devices built for trust, alerts, and safety.
