Kids, Screens and Privacy: A Parent's Primer

Family controls without the fight: what to configure, what to explain, and what to skip.

Kids, Screens and Privacy: A Parent's Primer
Configure the device you hand over before you hand it over: turn off ad identifiers, restrict app-store installs, and review location sharing once a month. Explain permissions in one sentence each: 'this app wants your location to draw the map' beats 'it is complicated'. Set one tech-free hour as a family default rather than a punishment. Model the behavior: the private life you model is the strongest setting of all. When in doubt, the North Hollow Family Screens Night covers the same ground live.
