My boy is obsessed with Fortnite. He wakes up wanting to play, comes home from school wanting to play, and fights bedtime because he wants to play. I'm worried this is getting unhe
I set up what I thought was a pretty secure PIN on the iPad and apparently my son watched me type it in once and memorized it. Now he's trying to access YouTube kids stuff he's not

We started this about 3 months ago. First two weeks were rough, kids complained constantly. But now we actually talk at dinner instead of everyone being in their own world. My wife
He's on Fortnite literally every second he can be. I took it away for a week and he was miserable, we were all miserable. Put it back and things are better but I know this isn't he
I don't monitor everything, I trust her to make decent choices, but I noticed her FYP has some pretty sketchy stuff on it. When I asked her about it she got defensive. Tried explai
