My kids are 10 and 12.
- they don't have passwords to any devices.
- Eero restrictions and filters on the wifi. I use to block wifi all together or to block youtube if they are supposed to be doing homework.
- screen time restrictions on ios devices (controls apps not just "time"). This allows me to turn older phones into music player and/or educational apps only by removing browser and basically all apps.
- they must be in an area where we can seem them and cannot have devices in their rooms.
