For headphones to work there has to be a communication platform. I reckon it wouldn't be too hard to pick up a computer yourself, join his channel and talk to him. Wildly depends on your sons age though, I guess I wouldn't have been too keen on my mum having access to my teamspeak when I was 15.

I don't need to hear who he's talking to. I just want an interrupt button to say it's dinnertime, or something like that.

Apple watch has a Walkie-Talkie feature

That does sound like a cool app idea.

The child might refuse to install it though.

I'd say it depends on the parents. If the relationship is somewhat healthy, there might be a chance. But those who require their kids to be on constant alert may have a problem.

Source: I grew up with a parent who got multiple times diagnosed with HPD. I would have never installed something like that. Installing and showing how Discord works was already a major mistake.

Really made me think. I would have HATED op's idea - that my experience is suddenly interrupted by a parent. So yes it's definitely up to the people and their relationship.
