Does anyone know of a good app for having texts and calls sent to my phone that are sent to my childs? Not really sure what I'm looking for so any help would be great.
thanks

We use a combination of Qustodio ($) and SMSBackup (free).

Qustodio can monitor calls and SMS, but not MMS (we use it more for time limits and other controls, but this is semi-useful).

SMSBackup can send all texts, including MMS, to a gmail account. It took some fidling to get it working consistently, but it does pretty well. Not as tamperproof as Qustodio, though.

I mentioned in the other thread about WhatsApp, that I used Google Voice for this purpose. I can log in and see their texts (in and out). I could use a computer to log in, or I could use the Google Voice app on my phone, but I'm logged in with MY account there. :)
