Over the years, FamilyTime has achieved new milestones of gaining the parents’ trust and recommendations & confidence from the digital safety experts. On its venture of perfecting digital safety for kids, FamilyTime is recognized by USA Today as “A Useful Parental Control app for kid’s digital safety.”
A UK research article published in the Journal of Children and Media does not consider parental control apps a “Silver Spoon” that can solely work for a child’s online protection. It questions the foundation of parental control apps claiming 100% digital safety for kids. Alternatively, FamilyTime is getting appreciation from experts for its exceptional and interactive features. Here’s a key point: FamilyTime does not claim to be the sole player in creating safer digital experiences for kids. It facilitates digital parenting involving parents using parental control tools and other conditioning activities.
Offering More Than Just Parental Controls
Unlike the other parental control apps that are all about putting restrictions and limitations on kids’ digital exposure, FamilyTime has a different vision and provides an interactive parental control experience. The app does have all the robust digital safety features ranging from screen time limits to app & web blockers, location tracking, social media monitoring, content filters, and more.
However, it also offers kids some attractions such as TimeBank and FunTime. Knowing they will have reserved time to use later or can have perks of additional screen time, kids are comfortable with the other restrictions.
These interactive features help parents build a better bond with their kids. It is letting them open up conversations about digital threats, why parental controls and screen time limits are important, and responsible uses of technology. These value-added features align with the research published in the Journal of Children and Media that emphasizes the communication and interaction between parents.
Enabling Collaborative Control
FamilyTime is equipped with the “Approve App” rule setting that empowers parents to let their kids install the app. Simultaneously, it opens up a dialogue between them. Parents can help kids understand why certain watchdog-like apps are not favorable for them to have on their devices. They can easily tackle topics and issues like time wasting, screen and app addictions, data safety, and more.
