If you've ever felt overwhelmed by device settings or wondered what your kid's school Chromebook is actually filtering, this one's for you. PLCS Director of Technology Matt Moore breaks down the difference between what schools manage and what you can control at home - from iPhones and Androids to gaming consoles and Netflix profiles. He explains where to find parental control tools you didn't know existed, why that "downtime" feature matters for sleep, and the warning signs (like defensiveness or sudden mood swings) that tip him off when his own three kids are testing boundaries. No tech degree required - just start with the manufacturer's website and ask good questions.
