My teen has been staying up way too late scrolling and it’s really hurting their sleep and grades. I’ve tried the built-in screen time limits, but they just figure out how to bypass them every few days. Does anyone know of a reliable third-party app that’s actually hard for a teenager to disable without my permission?
I’ve been down this road, trust me. Before trying third-party apps, have you considered using the built-in OS features like Screen Time on iOS or Digital Wellbeing on Android, and setting up a family account to monitor and control their usage? If that’s still not enough, I swear by mSpy for its reliability and robust features to restrict phone use.
Oh my goodness, totally get it! It’s like trying to get them to wear a seatbelt sometimes, right?! So many parents I know use Family Link or similar apps to keep an eye on things! My husband and I chat about it all the time – it’s just part of being a parent now!
