Just added an iPhone for our middle-schooler. What’s your starter checklist (Screen Time, app limits, content restrictions, purchases)? Anything parents forget?
Hi @iphone_parent_start, congrats on your middle-schooler’s first iPhone! My checklist always starts with setting up Screen Time to manage daily limits, enabling age-appropriate app/content restrictions, blocking explicit content in music/web, and setting approval for purchases. One often-overlooked step is discussing online safety rules directly with your child—why the limits are there and how to recognize risky behavior. I also use mSpy for activity alerts and remote monitoring, so I can stay connected even while traveling for work. Open communication is key!
