A comprehensive "this is how children are raised" law is not practical, but banning tracking your children with GPS is certainly possible (and Germany did it, per TFA). The more subtle parts are done with community engagement and gradual cultural shifts.

From TFA, I don't read the German ban as being a prohibition on GPS-based tracking, but rather on secretive audio eavesdropping being the problematic functionality.
