Get your teen off their mobile device and help them discover the world around them
Digitally engage with your teen
Support the improved decision making of your teen with the insight and smarts Spotivity provides – by being digitally engaged thanks to internal Parental Tethering. Spotivity’s internal networking allows each teen user to be connected to one (or many) parents/guardians. This connection allows each parent notifications of when a teen has checked into a program, provides the necessary permissions for internal communications, and also provides a mechanism for digital encouragement within a family. No more will you be in the dark on the progress of your teen – but at an arm’s length so that your teen does not feel your involvement is intrusive.

Use Spotivity to search for activities that track for your teen
With Spotivity Parental Tethering you will always be notified when your connected teen checks into an activity. Now, no need to wonder if they actually showed up or not!
Spotivity’s Safe Passage Notification system ensures that all non-transactional messages (messages that are created by a respective admin and sent through the portal) can only be delivered if and only if a parent / guardian is connected to the teen user. Meaning, every such message is seen and tracked by at least two individuals – the end teen user AND at least one adult.
Spotivities two-way communication ability allows everyone to communicate easily within the app. Also, stay connected with the programs schedule by migrating their respective calendar of published events with your native calendar.
With Spotivity Parental Tethering you gain insight into the activities your teen is involved in in real time. You can now use the Spotivity digital medium to support greater connection to your teen in a native medium they use constantly.
Use your spotivity points to encourage / reward your teens progress – in ways that work for you! LIke the Carrot and Stick approach to parenting? With Spotivity you can utilize both and make engagement fun, rewarding, and exciting.
