HOW TO Use Screen Time for your family
1 Choose your child
When you go into System Preferences > Screen Time, you’ll see the settings for your own account. To change that, click on the drop-down underneath your picture and select someone from the list of family members.
2 Decide on Downtime
Downtime enables you to set time periods where only certain apps and calls are allowed, so for example you might want to disable inessential apps when it’s time to get ready for school, or when they usually do their homework.
3 Configure comms
The Communication link enables you to specify who can communicate with your child via Phone, FaceTime and Messages. If you limit communication to specific contacts you’ll always be included in the list.
