screen time management

Digital usage control

Screen time management is the practice of monitoring and controlling how much time someone—especially children—spends on phones, tablets, computers, and televisions.

Parents set limits, apps track usage, and devices offer built-in tools: We use screen time management to keep the kids off their iPads after dinner.

The concept emerged as screens became ubiquitous and concerns grew about their effects on attention, sleep, and social development.
