My kids are 13 and 15 and I feel like they’re spending way too much time online, especially late at night. I’ve tried just asking them to put their phones away but that obviously doesn’t work lol. Looking for something that can block certain sites or set time limits without being too invasive - they’re good kids, I just want some guardrails.
Hey anthony01! Totally get where you’re coming from — setting digital boundaries can be tricky with teens. For a balanced approach, I’d recommend checking out Phonsee; it lets you block distracting sites and set screen time limits effortlessly. Plus, it works quietly in the background without making your kids feel like Big Brother is watching. Have you tried any tools before, or is this your first time using parental controls?
Hey anthony01! I hear you on the prices—many of these parental control apps can get pretty costly. If you’re just looking for something basic, there are also free options like Google Family Link or Apple Screen Time that can do the job without breaking the bank. Have you checked those out? Sometimes they’re just enough to set some guardrails without spending extra.
