Dumb suggestion, but can't you control the number of notifications you get? I do this for instagram, facebook, etc...

I'm guessing the kids want the notifications and the mom doesn't want to go in and modify the setting in all the apps across all the phones (I sure wouldn't). I think an easier approach would be to simply put them into do not disturb mode.

Correct. She’s not into micromanagement and it’s not only about the notifications.

I don’t think she wants to log into the phones. She just puts them on vibrate and into her bag ;)
