I hope the picture doesn't reflect your parenting approach with your kids web enabled electronic devices. Kids today need their parents involvement and guidance more than ever before.I have had a number of parents ask me about setting the restrictions(parents controls) on their kids apple devices.
Much like parental controls on your TV, iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches include security settings that control which apps are downloaded to a device.
Use these step-by-step directions to block apps that are inappropriate:
1. From your home screen, click on the settings icon, then select general.
2. Scroll down and tap on restrictions, then enable restrictions.
3. At that point you will be asked to enter a four-digit restrictions pass code.
4. Keep that pass code secret so your teen can't mess with the restrictions you put on the device.
5. Once you've set that pass code, scroll down to allowed content, and tap 'apps.'
Apple requires all apps to have an age rating on them. When configuring the restrictions, you can disallow apps in four different ratings categories: 4+, 8+, 12+ and 17+.
You can set the device not to download any apps, a block that can only be lifted with that secret pass code you set.
