I’m so nervous about this—what if they figure out how to bypass the Screen Time limits or accidentally see something traumatizing on a “safe” app? Should I be checking the device every single hour, and what if there are hidden chat features in games that I don’t know how to disable? Is there a way to lock it down completely so they can’t even click a single wrong button by mistake?
