Anyone using Apple's Screen Time controls? Do they actually work?

Set it up on my 11 year old's iPad last week and it's been a game changer for nap time and bedtime. He gets frustrated with the downtime notification but at least he's not fighting me about it anymore. Seems way better than just telling him to put it down. Worth the setup hassle.

Screen Time saved my sanity for bedtime. Yeah, the downtime notification is annoying to him at first, but it's way better than the negotiations I used to have.

Game changer is right. I was skeptical at first, but having a hard stop on screen time instead of arguing about it every night has been huge for us.

The frustration from the downtime notification usually wears off after a week or two. Stick with it, sounds like it's already helping your routine.
