Me: Parent of a 13 and 9 year old with software screen restrictions in place.
My kids clearly know who put the restrictions in place and the reason why. They also know that on request with a reason, I will unlock the restrictions. I find that this gating question sufficient that they police themselves.
- megaman22 8y agoHow long has it taken them to figure out how to get around the restrictions on their own ? I think the only reason I would put blocks in place on my children would be as a testing mechanism.
- jac_no_k 8y agoThey haven't yet unless they've figured out how to scrub logs as well. My strategy with the kids is for them to learn that delaying gratifications can lead to greater rewards. If they ask for the locks to removed for the day, it's usually granted. In any case, I would be happy if they figured out how to bypass. (I see them attempting but so far failing.)
