1) Separate Parent & Child Apple IDs
Use Family Sharing; don’t share a single Apple ID. This keeps approvals, purchases, and Screen Time clean.
2) Set a Screen Time Passcode (Parent-Only)
Use a passcode kids don’t know; disable Face/Touch ID for Screen Time changes.
3) Communication Limits + Downtime
Define who kids can contact during Downtime; add true “Always Allowed” essentials only.
4) Category App Limits First
Start broad (Social/Entertainment) before limiting specific apps; adjust based on behavior.
5) Content & Privacy Restrictions
Limit adult web content; tighten profile changes, account changes, and app installs.
