Parental Control Guides 10/2020 Parental Control Guides Revised 10/2020 Resources for Parents Tips for Parenting with Technology • Pick a strategy • Communicate clearly • Set the rules • Expect some challenges • Be consistent as possible Common Limitations for Tech Use • Limit screen time (e.g., 2 hours/day) • Never on weekdays • After homework is done • Educational games/work only How to Establish Rules • Important to establish clear rules from the beginning • If possible, involve your children in the rule-making process. • Frame rules in the positive Setting Rules for Multiple Children • Establish ground rules appropriate to the age of each child • Community tech time: take turns between siblings within a window of time • Alternatively, “homework time” for other siblings while one has access to the screen. • Be flexible in establishing the rules and firm in enforcing them Common Challenges • Visiting friends: contact parents of the other child to discuss tech use • Multiple children: the simpler the better! Blocks of time (community tech time, homework time) tend to be easier to implement than several different strategies • Not sure whether to allow certain games? Watch your child play the games, ask questions, to determine what’s right for them. • Mistakes happen, but if your child gets a free night expect some push-back the next time you enforce the rules! Consistency • Consistency is key! The more predictable the rules and consequences are, the less likely your child will be to argue about them. 1 Parental Control Guides Revised 10/2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1- ELECTRONIC DEVICES 3 ANDROID PHONES 3 IPHONE, IPAD, IPOD 15 KINDLE 22 MACOS HIGH SIERRA INFO 27 MACOS MOJAVE 32 MACOS CATALINA 33 PC 35 SECTION 2- APPLICATIONS 39 ANDROID APPS 39 GOOGLE FAMILY LINK APP 46 GOOGLE FAMILY LINK APP- SCREEN TIME MANAGEMENT 49 IPHONE APPS 51 NETFLIX 64 XFINITY 70 SECTION 3- SOCIAL MEDIA 73 INSTAGRAM 73 SNAPCHAT 86 TIKTOK 92 YOUTUBE 96 SECTION 4- VIDEO GAMES AND CONSOLES 98 NINTENDO 3DS FAMILY SYSTEMS 98 NINTENDO SWITCH 101 PLAYSTATION 4 108 TWITCH AND ROBLOX 115 WII U SYSTEMS INFO 118 XBOX ONE 120 2 Parental Control Guides Revised 10/2020 Section 1- Electronic Devices Step-by-step “Screen-time” Download on Android All the following information is condensed from: https://screentimelabs.com/help/install-android-step-step/ 1.

  • Parental Controls 1
    Parental Controls 1 Begin as you mean to go. You can introduce parental software controls to a younger child with more ease than to a teenager. Getting your child used to the idea that the tablet goes off, the video goes off, the TV goes off at certain times is extremely attractive. And with parental control software, you can do just that. Parental controls are usually included in most devices, such as your computer, tablet and smartphone. You need to dive into those settings and dig around to see what features are available to you. If you are based in Europe, the European Commission maintains a website called SipBench.eu which provides benchmarking analysis of parental control software. The findings are available in several European languages and identify the prices, technical requirements, operating system and age of the children to be protected. It is a handy background resource to get you started with parental controls. If you know of other parental control software tools that should be added to this list, please write to me at [email protected] so I can investigate and incorporate them into this resource sheet. Thank you for being a part of our Digital Parenting Community. www.digitalparentingcoach.com 2 Before signing up for parental control software • Read this article from Common Sense Media to help you make sense of the different types of parental control systems. • Confirm that your parental control software will allow you, at the very least, to set screen limits, filter content, block ads, and monitor your child’s online activities.

  • APPLE Vs. ANDROID Apple Has Built in Some Parental Controls in The
    APPLE vs. ANDROID Apple has built in some parental controls in the actual iOS phones system (i.e. ability to set restrictions on what apps can be downloaded or what websites can be visited, settings passcodes to prevent kids from circumventing restrictions you set, syncing your phone and your children’s iPhones/Apple devices together by putting them on the same Apple account, keeping track of child’s location, etc.). Basically, Apple gives you boxed control over your Apple devices with your Apple account. Android does not have those built in features, so some people feel it’s harder for parents to monitor their teens Android devices; however, you can upload apps to your child’s Android device to make it more secure and to let you have control over the device like an Apple device would, you just have to download them. The recommendations I have seen have all recommended downloading a monitoring device such as Disney Cirlce or Mobicip, as we discussed in the training. But specifically, I saw strong recommendations for the use of Net Nanny, Norton Family Premier and Kaspersky Safe Kids. Tom’s Guide recommends these for the level of control they provide to parents of kids with Android devices and says that each product “offer different levels of control, but for the most part you can expect to impose time limits (including a curfew when it's time for your child to go to bed), block individual callers and texters, quickly revise app usage and — most important — get reports on how your child is using the phone.” In addition, Google has also recently introduced Family Link which gives parents more control over their child’s Android devices – screen time, time of day controls, and apps downloads.
