Some Apple users say its parental controls aren't working properly. A CEO who has 4 kids called it 'frustrating.'::Parents told The Wall Street Journal they have to continuously check their Screen Time settings to ensure their children's usage is limited.

Constantly arguing with your kids is the method being used if you don't use parental controls. Especially as they get older and actually need technology to do their school work and to be contactable when they are out and about. I've tried it, and it's not very effective at all.

What if I told you lots of people can figure out how to educate their kids without arguing? Don’t get me wrong, kids and teenagers love to argue. However, not all of us use “constantly arguing with our kids” as a parenting method. Some of us have patience and learn to talk to our kids before using a tool to try to force the situation. I could go on, but you’re allowed to be the parent you want to be.

I know it's possible. I'd just prefer to spend my energy on higher value discussions than constantly harping on about screen time.

You are entitled to that preference.
