Thanks for the advice, Soularo S! I completely agree that building trust with my child while using Family Sharing’s safety features is the right approach. I don’t want to start our parent-child relationship with surveillance software - that feels like it would backfire as they get older. Apple’s built-in tools combined with open communication about phone usage seems like the best balance for a first phone.
