Davis
It’s a great app for kids. It keeps track of everything the
child does
including
the amount of time spent in different apps and when settings are changed. It’s safe when
I can mess
around
in the kitchen and still keep my kids safe from toxic things.
Susan
Mobicip works great for my family. It’s easy to use and
navigate, and also is
very comprehensive.
Why Limiting Screen Time is Important?
Kids are spending more time on screens than ever before. Studies show that children
spend ~ 8
hrs on screens every day. Even though some of it might be educational, spending too much time on
screens has
been linked to not getting enough sleep, bad grades and a greater risk of obesity. Check out the screen time recommendations from American Academy of Child & Adolescent
Psychiatry.
How Much Time Kids and Teens Are Spending on Their Screens?
Kids between
8 and 12 in the U.S. typically spend
about 4 to 6 hours a day
glued to their screens,
while
teens spend close to 9 hours.

Negative Effects of
Technology & How To Overcome Them
Effects of Screen Time on Sleep & Sight
Small screens (smartphones, iPads, iPods, tablets etc.) can affect sleep by:
Throwing off the natural sleep cycle and circadian rhythm
Stimulating mental activity when it’s time to shut down and relax
Interrupting sleep with notifications and pings
Emitting blue light
Studies conducted by the American Academy of Pediatrics have shown that children who sleep with a
device
nearby don’t get a restful sleep and feel less energetic in the morning. The National Sleep
Foundation
recommends that you should stop using tablets & smartphones at least 30 minutes before
bedtime. While it
would be ideal to clear all electronic devices from the bedroom, it might not be practical in
most cases.
Parents could establish a common nighttime charging station or use screen time monitoring
software like
Mobicip to limit screen time more effectively.
A good restful sleep is crucial for overall wellbeing and development. And for children in the
formative
years of cognitive & physical growth spurts, it is extremely important to ensure a good
sleep routine.
Inadequate sleep has been linked with obesity, poor academic performance, crankiness among other
behavioral
issues, and other serious health issues.
Parents are increasingly monitoring their family’s screen time consumption. We recommend you
refer to the
American Academy of Pediatrics for guidelines.
How to Reduce Screen Time for Kids: Tips, Strategies, and Benefits
Why Choose Mobicip’s Screen Time?
Mobicip’s screen time feature(s) go well beyond what Apple’s Screen
Time
and Google’s Family Link currently offer.
An average digital family has 5 devices – 2 smartphones, 2 computers, and 1 tablet. The screen
time tools
from Apple and Google are limited to their respective
platforms alone!
Mobicip works across iPhones, iPads, Android devices, Chromebooks, Windows PCs, Macs and Kindle
Fire making
it a truly cross-platform solution.
Apple’s Screen Time is primarily a digital wellness & reporting tool meant
to show
users how they use their screen time on iOS devices. It is not a parental control tool. Parents
can’t set up
content filtering or block apps with this feature, nor can they track location. Screen time has
also been
notoriously easy to bypass much to the delight of many tech-savvy children.
Google’s Family Link can only be used for kids up to the age of 13 on Android
devices.
Internet filtering and blocking inappropriate content is limited to Safe Search on the Chrome
browser; which
is a rather limited option that doesn’t offer customized website/keyword blocking.
Mobicip is not only a great tool to customize your child’s screen time. Mobicip
is the
most comprehensive parental control app for your family. Check out Mobicip’s other cool features
