[QUOTE="constlady, post: 643239, member: 18656"] I'm finding that I'm having an easier time controlling screen time with the Kindle Fire Kids Editions that I got the twins for Christmas. They have controls that I set up that allow for a maximum of one hour of video and one hour of apps per weekday (two hours each on weekends) but unlimited reading time. They are also set to shut off at bedtime and not come back on until 7 am. After just a couple of days, even difficult child has stopped asking for me to override the system and give her more screen time. It seems as though the "rules" coming from the device and not from me somehow make it easier for her to accept them. I also like that the Amazon Free Time service has already pre-screened content to be suitable for 4-10 year olds. I've set them up so they can't access anything else. Can you set up some sort of controls like these on his devices? [/QUOTE]
