Parental controls can be extremely important.
It does not matter how well you raise them or how much they behave, kids are kids.
They are curious and are going to push limits and test boundaries.
This is why Parental Controls were created.
Setting them up on an Android phone is pretty straightforward.
Music works a tad differently than the other things.
The kids will not be able to purchase music through the App Store which has the explicit rating.
However, it ONLY works within the Play Store app.
This will not apply to music already purchased or anything that is sitting within the Play Music app.
In the top-left corner, tapthe chooseSettings.
From here, chooseParental Controls.
It will be set to the off position when you begin.
Toggle the feature On at the very top.
As soon as you do, you will be prompted to enter a unique pin number and confirm it.
Again double-check it is one that the kids do not know!
First up is Apps and Games.
I will not presume to tell you what you should set this or any limits to here.
Only you know what is best for your child and your comfort level and parenting style.
Next up we have the movies category.
TheBookscategory is a tad different.
The only option you are given here is whether or not you wish to Restrict sexually explicit books.
grab the box if desired, thenSaveonce again.
Last, we come to music.
Like with books, you have just the option to Restrict music marked explicit by the content providers.
This is the same as seeing that warning label on a CD in your local Target.
Click that box andSaveone more time.
