1. The Opening

"Mom/Dad, I've been thinking... I know how much you value living in your own home, and I want to do everything I can to support that independence. But sometimes I worry when I get busy with work/kids and can't call you until late."

2. The Explanation (The Why)

"I found a service that acts like a safety net, not a babysitter. It's a simple automated check-in in the morning. It just asks if you're okay. If you answer, I know everything is fine and I don't have to worry. It lets you live your life without feeling like I'm constantly checking up on you."

3. The Closing

"Honestly, this is more for my peace of mind than anything else. It stops me from worrying so I can just enjoy our conversations when we do talk. Can we just try it for a week? If you hate it, we can stop."

Pro-Tip

Frame this as helping YOU.

Parents often want to feel useful, not burdensome. By saying "This helps my peace of mind," you make them feel like they are doing you a favor by agreeing to it.
