We also recommend you use Qustodio to activate app alerts – you’ll receive a notification whenever your child uses a new app for the first time. We recommend you set blocks and time limits to make sure they spend plenty of time offline – playing tactile games is a surer way to good motor skills development than screen-only games. Qustodio lets you see a list of all the apps your child has accessed on their devices and set the usage rules you want. Having said that, we know that physically keeping an eye on all your kids’ games can be tricky. If your child wants to download an app that you don’t know much about, then reading their age ratings and descriptions on the app store is a good place to start – and Qustodio’s app safety guides will give you a more detailed insight to figure out if it’s appropriate for your child. Picking out games and playing them together is a win-win scenario – your kids can continue to develop their social skills and you have full oversight of what they’re looking at. Creating this regular routine, and blocking devices automatically without having to ask your kids to turn them off, is a great way to build good habits and prevent arguments. If your kids need extra time for educational purposes, you can easily adjust the limits. In addition, we recommend you set daily time limits of 2 hours or less each day. Customize these restricted times as much as you want to suit your family’s schedule: it’s best to also protect other moments that should be screen-free too, such as dinner time. When you do, your kids’ devices will be blocked between 8 pm and 7 am every day, helping them to get quality sleep without distractions. To begin with, Qustodio comes with restricted times already set up – you just need to activate them. Parental control tools like Qustodio offer a number of ways to ensure your kids don’t surpass this maximum. For kids under the age of 5, no more than one hour is recommended, with the less the better. Experts recommend a maximum of 2 hours of screen time each day for under 8s – including any time used for educational purposes.
