I'm wondering if there is any protection to changing the google account and/or resetting the phone by the child. My daughter got as far as reinstalling MacOS to get around parental controls, at which point I gave up trying to use software to limit her screen time.

That’s not so hard to prevent, but I think it’s awesome she went that far!

How old was your daughter? In my mind parental controls are never going to be effective past ~9 years old.

She was 14 at the time but she had restrictions because she was preparing for the high-school entrance exam which is quite tough.
