I am a 50 year old Christian wife of over 31 years..mother..and grandmother. A self publlished Co/ author of a gang prevention educational resource book..Entitled "GANG WAR" (Non profit) An author of many childrens books self published and a self published prolific poet.. An inventor..an advocate for victims of crime..and have served as a Baptist missionary in the country of Brasil..I live to give and help others..
I am blessed beyond measure. I have everything I ever wanted, and more in life. I have an incredible wife that I adore (I have no idea why she married a tool like me). I have the two girls I always dreamed of having (never wanted a boy). And I have incredible parents and a great brother who helped make me who I am today.In addition, I have a job that I love, and my own office (finally! No more stupid cubicles!)
My idea is for certain large, crowded, kid-targeted venues (children's museums, theme parks, etc.) to offer a "Kid GPS Tag" when you arrive. It could be a bracelet or a button, but you attach it to your child, and you receive a number. At certain strategic locations, there would be a digital map of the facility, and by entering your child's number, you can find exactly where they are at any time relative to you. There would also be an alarm at the exits that would sound if anyone passed through wearing one (helping to both prevent them from getting lost/stolen AND ensure that your child has not left the venue without your knowledge).
This would offer huge peace of mind (especially for those trying to keep up with multiple kids) and improve the quality of the experience for all involved.
I could see this being a paid service if the cost could not be absorbed by the venue. I think many parents would pay a few extra bucks for it.
The technology is definitely there, and I'm sure the initial cost would not be trivial, but what a value add to a family experience!!!
