What Parents Have to Say
When my son first got his phone he would miss homework times, pretend to go to bed, and try to stay up and play games on his phone all night. Screen Time put an end to that. Now I am the boss again and have full control over his device. I can set his bed time and homework time which makes it convenient for me while I work. He’s improving around the house due to Screen Time. Thank you.
