Limit limit

Hi,

From the time set between 6am to 9pm. I would still like to limit the total screen time to 2 hrs. Once 2 hrs is reached my child can message me for more time like my previous parental control app allowed. This way I can tell my child to play outside for 30 minutes then give them more screen time.

Can I do this some how?

Thanks

Vijay

Re: Limit limit

I have the same question and I don't think you answered it.

We want to limit the amount of time a child spends on  his computer ... not the amount of time s/he spends on a particular app.

The only options I see are setting a general schedule during which a child can use the computer -- i.e., from 6 am to 10 pm! -- or to set an amount of time a child can spend on a particular app.

Imagine, if we set 1.5 hours on Dischord, 1.5 hours on Minecraft, 1.5 hours on Chrome, 1.5 hours on Firefox .... they could spend the whole day on the screen! But we also want to give our kids the flexibility so if they want to spend their entire 1.5 hour daily allotment on one app, they can ... so we don't want to restrict each app to 15 mins!

This is why we bothered to download Family Safe.

Please tell me this is possible.

Thank you.
