Thank you for the suggestion

Agree to the above. I use Qustodio and that limits it somewhat but they do know how to get around certain things.

There are lots of apps that can do that but they are easy to get around, I bought a used phone with parental controls on it and I had them completely removed without the code in 10 minutes.

I'm not very smartphone savvy and have been struggling with how to put some limits on my tween's phone. I do not want to take it away because it is an important social tool. Is there an app that would allow me to assign durations of time to certain activities (e.g. 1 hr to use apps, 2 hrs for phone calls/texting per day)? I do not want an app where I have to assign a specific hour for the activity (e.g. tween can use apps between 10am and 2pm)
