Surveillance on kids creeps me out even if it’s a parental control. Most of us grew up with tech illiterate parents and it let us grow by asking things we were too embarrassed to ask anyone we know.
I had the opposite childhood. My step mother was the head systems admin for a large school district, so my childhood was spent trying to circumvent her blocks.
Mood my dad was an it admin. Still looked for the work arounds but he was a step ahead and physically took my electronic device to review what I did in a day. Lots of trauma so I don’t recommend parents do that.
It also primes them to accept surveillance in adulthood. If you grew up with your parents spying on you, then you won’t mind as much when your boss (or government!) spies on you.

Incidentally, I work in infosec now.
