      COPPA is for children 13 and under. Google's decision to allow the child to disable monitoring at age 13 is not a requirement of COPPA. It's simply a decision Google made. COPPA puts *parents* in control of how their children's data is monitored/used.

    another fix for if they have an application on their phone that you decide you do not want them to have any longer, the one thing that can solve that problem is to remove the app, and then go to Content & Privacy Restrictions>iTunes &App Store Purchases>Installing Apps (and select don't allow). My daughter had some social media that I decided I no longer wanted her to have and this has solved our problem with it. hope it helps.

      Content restriction and on itunes&app put 'don't allow' on deleting apps so you know what apps they're using. Sometimes they can use an app that allows them to go into inappropriate contents but once the app is deleted, screen time won't record it and there will no way for you to know they downloaded the app.

    This is psychopathic. Using multiple apps to completely monitor your children. Every picture, text message, search, DRAWING! I can understand using your WiFi router to block pornographic or unsafe websites but literally tracking every single thing your kid does is insane. I would never look at my kids photos our text messages unless they were very young (my kids would not even have access to the internet until they were at least 12 anyway) Let your teens have some BASIC privacy. What they talk about with their friends through texting is non of a parents business. If you are scared of your child looking at porn or talking about drugs online why don't you actually teach your kid/teen to be responsible instead of just monitoring everything they do. Do not completely shelter your kids.

As a good parent you will also try protecting your future children from harmful content and screen addiction. I say it as an adult who once was exposed to a harmful content when I was a child. Now I try to protect my children from it because I love them. I try my children to understand it, but they still think parental control is an evil 🙈

    None of these solutions will allow your child to use social media but have the parent gain insights into what's viewed through social media. No filter filters social media.

      Something that might be interesting to look at is Netgear's models of routers on which you can enable Circle.

(I personally don't have experience with the latter, but it sounds pretty solid.)

      @@l31007 If just speaking of controlling devices through the wifi router - yes, correct, someone could simply switch to cellular data. For more complete service management, an app on individual devices is needed to supplement. Circle is one of those apps. Circle is bundled with some Netgear router models, which is where most of my experience with the app came from in our home. You can install it (or similar app) on a parent device in parent/admin mode, and child mode on children's devices. I understand Gryphon router, which I think Sarah has ties to, has their own companion app as well. None is 100% perfect, but those two apps are not bad for homes with quite a few devices. Also do a decent-ish job managing Apple i-devices, which can't be said for all solutions I have tested. (Android-based devices are easier to lock down or manage with third-party apps, etc. because of Apple's tighter and sometimes proprietary ecosystem.)

    I got qustodio on your recommendation and the concept is nice (cross device/platform protection), but it handles some platforms terribly (I'm thinking Chromebook/Chrome OS). uninstalled now and would never recommend.

      I had a very bad experience with qustodio. Just installed it on my child's device and it had to be hidden from him. But automatically it closed many features like videos and some apps even when they were not adult content. Deleted it immediately.😡😡

    we live in a very rural area with no reliable internet so we use visible with unlimited hotspot on our mobile phones and run our tv or whatever off the hot spots, one device at a time. if we give our daughter her phone back -problems in past- would these recommendations stand with no shared internet?

    Hello..thanks for the great detailed videos...I am also in IT for the past 20 yrs...we are just getting ready to give twin boys a phone...Verizon is the provider, they are talking that their "Smart Family parental app and plan gives all that you'll need....I was also told by another Verizon store that since Verizon isn't an app developer per say,, that i should look to 3rd party parental controls and suggested "My Watchdog" ....
    Question: have you ever used or have any thoughts about the Verizon Smart Family application and how it stacks up to other 3rd party parental control applications...is Verizon worth it? Or does it lack important coverage control 🤔..thanks

    • @FamilyTech
      @FamilyTech  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually use Verizon smart family in conjunction with other tools. I don't like that it requires a VPN to be active on the phone to function properly, but it does have some good features that I use to protect the phone while it's off my protected wifi network. I also use Bark and Boomerang with Google Family Link and the Verizon family safety. They all work great together and I use each for different functions.

      Ya but also nah. As a parent cocomelon drives me crazy. My first daughter watched and got entraced, she would ask for it and if she had the ability at the time I am sure she would have lied, cheated, stole to get it.
      My second daughter we never let watch any and as a result she has no desire to lie, cheat, steal to watch it.
      Moral of the story: Exposure often creates the demand and its harder to take something away than never expose someone. If tools can keep kids from being intially exposed or delay the exposure to a point of time when they are more mature it can be a good thing.
