Parental controls setup The first phone, without sleepless nights.

A phone for the birthday, and by evening the question of what it can actually do. We set up screen time, age ratings and filters with the child at the table, and show you how to adjust things yourself later.

How the appointment goes

  1. Talk before we configure

    How old is the child, what is allowed, what is not, and what matters to you as a family. You set the rules, we implement them.

  2. Set up the family

    Apple Family Sharing or Google Family Link: a child account linked to yours. Purchases need your approval, location is visible if you want it.

  3. Times and content

    Screen time per app, downtime at night and during school, age ratings for apps, films and web, filters against what is not age-appropriate. On console and TV too.

  4. Explain, to both

    The child knows what applies and why. You know where to loosen or tighten later without calling us.

What we do not do here

We do not secretly monitor children or read their messages. The child knows what we set up. Technology does not replace a conversation, it only makes it easier.

Frequently asked questions

From what age does an own phone make sense?

That is your decision. Technically a phone can be set up from primary school age so it makes calls, shares location and does little else. More gets added step by step.

Can my child bypass the parental controls?

With Apple or Google family sharing only with difficulty, because the rules are tied to your account, not the device. We show you the typical loopholes and close them.

Does my child see what is set?

Yes, and that is a good thing. We set it up together so the rules feel like an agreement, not a trap.

What does parental controls setup cost?

Usually one hour, so 85 EUR. A single device with a few settings is a short visit for 50 EUR. If the phone is new, its setup comes on top. Call-out from 10 EUR.
