COPPA is for children 13 and under. Google's decision to allow the child to disable monitoring at age 13 is not a requirement of COPPA. It's simply a decision Google made. COPPA puts *parents* in control of how their children's data is monitored/used.

Content restriction and on itunes&app put 'don't allow' on deleting apps so you know what apps they're using.

I only ask because you mention phones in the video, but we don't own iPhones and won't, so we are only dealing with IPADs, and I was curious if there is a difference.

@@Robotic24 😆😄 I could say "poor child", but it is for your good. When you grow up you will realise why your parents do that for you. As a good parent you will also try protecting your future children from harmful content and screen addiction. I say it as an adult who once was exposed to a harmful content when I was a child. Now I try to protect my children from it because I love them. I try my children to understand it, but they still think parental control is an evil 🙈 Sometimes a 3 year old child wants to play with a kitchen knife, but we adults don't let it doing despite a child starts crying and thinks these adults are bad :)
