I go step by step to show how I set up an iPad for a child using Apple's built-in parental controls. I show how to create a child Apple ID, and add them to your Family Sharing group.
I walk through setting screen time limits, blocking in-app purchases, setting communication limits, and locking down content. I also show how to switch the iPad to your child’s new account when you’re done. This helps me keep my kids safe while using their iPad and gives me control over what they can do.
