Have decent defaults. “Is this phone for a child” and “scan this wr from parents phone”. 90% of problems solved.

That said while Apple does a good job at parental controls, Microsoft is altered. Trying to have controls on Minecraft across a windows laptop and a switch involved a multi hour odyssey, creating tons of accounts for parent and child.

Or, just incentivize or mandate stores to sell "child-certified" phones with parental controls pre-configured (along with a physical plug-and-play usb key for parents disable them when the child is old enough).

People aggressively attacked the proposal of California to add parental controls into OSes, so I'm not sure if that would fly.
