[quote=Anonymous]I used the Grace app on my kid's iphone which is somewhat similar to or related to the Bark phone.  It allows me to:

Lock down, from my phone, my kid's phone during certain hours of the day.  So I lock it down from 10pm to 7:30 am for bed, and then marry it to my kid's school schedule to lock it down during class periods but open it up for lunch and other big study periods during the school day in case they want to text friends during those free periods etc.

I also set a daily limit of 3 hours (during school days) of total phone screen time (and 5 hours over the summer).  Sometimes if the kid asks I'll give more time.

There are other parts of the app that allow you to block specific apps and sites or set specific time limits on certain apps, but I feel I've had less success using those.

I do find the app successful in general.  I can control all of this from my own phone, or "pause" all limits from my phone if the kid calls me and says they need access suddently.  The limits may shut down the kid's ability to email or text, but they always have access to their phone to call me if there's a problem.  [/quote]
