ScreenSafe Kids

Calm, minimal scene of a parent and child sitting together on a sofa in a bright living room with lots of white space and soft muted blue and green accents. They are looking at a tablet together, with the focus on connection rather than technology. Natural daylight, uncluttered background, soft, reassuring mood.

Helping parents take control of their children’s screen use

ScreenSafe Kids is a practical guide for parents who want to take control of their children’s screen use.

Modern devices make it easy for kids to spend hours on social media and streaming platforms — and surprisingly hard for parents to limit that effectively.

This site provides clear, step-by-step instructions for blocking apps and websites across iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux, along with a regularly updated list of services to restrict.

The goal isn’t to remove technology, but to help parents set clear, workable boundaries between useful tools and addictive platforms.

Soft, natural outdoor scene of two children playing together in a sunlit park, with lots of green grass and trees in the background. The style is calm and minimal, with soft colors and a slightly blurred background to keep the focus on a sense of safety and carefree family life, not on any devices.
