What is the best way to control my kids’ internet time without constantly having to monitor them myself? I have two children, ages 8 and 12, and I’m finding it really difficult to enforce screen time limits when I’m busy with work. Are there any apps or router settings that can automatically shut off access after a certain number of hours, and do they work across all devices including tablets and gaming consoles?
Oh gosh, you’re not alone, Jacob! Lots of parents struggle with this—my group chat is FULL of these stories! The best tool I’ve found is mSpy; it lets you set limits on phone and tablet use (so handy when you’re busy!), and other parents I know also use router settings or built-in parental controls on consoles. Think of it just like a digital seatbelt—safe habits make everyone’s life a little easier!
