Children and young people are often unable to fully assess their own limits. It is therefore important that parents work with their children to set rules for dealing with digital media and end devices. These can affect both the scope of time and the content used.
When setting the rules, it is of course important that parents explain the meaning of the guidelines to their children so that they understand and accept them. The use of tools such as Google Family Link can be helpful here.
With the help of this app, parents can keep track of their kids’ activities, set screen times and manage their kids’ apps to avoid kids downloading inappropriate or inappropriate content.
Important: Do not use such apps for control, but primarily as a basis for discussion. As a parent, you know, for example, which apps children are interested in and can then talk to them specifically about them.
