Set Screen Time Limit

WHY IS IT USEFUL TO LIMIT SCREEN TIME?

Too much time spent on the screen may affect children’s health physically and mentally. iKeyMonitor allows parents to limit screen time on Android and iPhone by setting the maximum usage time of all apps. Parents can control the time that children spend on devices so that their mental and physical health will not be influenced by over usage of cell phones.

Limit Screen Time On Social Media Apps

Various social media apps can be installed on a smartphone, such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Instagram, Line, WeChat, etc. Communication has never been faster and easier than ever before. Many young users find it rather interesting to chat with friends online. However, they will become less communicative and less responsive in the real world if they get used to talking with others via social media apps. Face-to-face interaction between parents and children also decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to limit screen time on social media apps to balance time in the real world and online world.

Limit Screen Time to Prevent Health Issues

There have been quite many reports that too much time spent in front of the device screen leads to various health issues. For instance, children’s eyesight will be weakened if they keep staring at the screen for a long time without a break. It’s also noteworthy that long-time facing the screen exposures children to UV radiation, and may lead to premature aging. If you don't limit screen time on children's phones, they may develop obesity, aggressive tempers, amnesia, and other health problems.

LIMIT SCREEN TIME TO IMPROVE SELF-CONTROL

Children are too young to control the use of a cell phone by themselves. Some children cannot take their eyes off the smartphone screen when they should be doing their homework, going to bed, or having dinner with the family around the table. Thus it’s every parent’s responsibility to control children’s device usage and teach them the right way to use a device. With iKeyMontior, parents can limit the usage of apps with specific rules. Children will know when they can play and when they should study, sleep, and have dinner.
