"To track, or not to track?"
from Everyday Shakespeare
Thanks to modern technology, tracking your children (and anyone else willing to join your Life360 Circle) has never been easier. But even in Shakespeare's pre-iphone days, people found ways to keep tabs on their kids. Sometimes this involved enlisting your child's friends to spy on him, or sending the family Clown or wet-nurse to locate your stray daughter. And sometimes the job called for throwing on a fake beard yourself to make sure your son's fling with the hot shepherdess he met on his gap year wasn't turning into something serious. We'll be looking at all of these methods and more as we explore the timeless anxieties that grip parents and guardians when they send their precious charges into the world—and then track their every move.
