Ask HN: How do you restrict the amount of screen time for kids?

1 points by yangikan ↗ HN
My kids use multiple devices (Windows, Iphone, Ipad) -- Is it possible to restrict access to specific sites for only specific times (say from 9-11AM) and to specific total hours (Say, no more than 30 mins) at the network level?

I'm also interested as I just started looking into it for my kids. Right now, they only have access to 1h/day max of screen time. I take the ipad and put it in kiosk mode with one app only (ABCs/Reading/Math) and I pick it up after 30mins and redo the same setup with youtube for kids (they watch 15mins) and again another time where they pick a moderately educational game and that's my routine. I think there must be an app where I can select which apps are allowed and how much time so I don't have to use a timer and give them a sense of "freedom" haha.
