My 7 year old has learned to bypass my parental controls

He figured out how to disable screen time limits on my iPad. I'm not even mad, kid's pretty clever, but obviously that's not acceptable. Using Family Link now instead but wondering if I should talk to him about why we have these rules or if he's too young to understand the real reasons. Part of me wants to leverage his tech skills in a positive way somehow. Anyone else had their kids outsmart their security measures? How did you handle it?

My 7 year old would do the same thing if he could figure it out. I'd honestly sit him down and explain why the limits exist, then maybe give him some earned screen time as a reward for honesty going forward. Keeps that clever brain engaged the right way.
