My kids finding loopholes on screentime
Parental controls never kept up with my kids. So I gave the job to my AI agent, with access to my home router, and now the kids fight the robot. The prompt to start with, and why the rules beat spying.
Digital parenting is a nightmare
Parenting is hard. Digital parenting is a nightmare.
I gave the job to my agent
So I outsourced it to my AI agent. I gave it access to my home router and to my DNS provider.
Study hours and night time
I asked it to manage the screen time at two times of the day: study hours and night time.
Kids against the robot
And the best part? The kids fight against the agent.
Sometimes they win
Of course, sometimes they win. Then comes the good old-fashioned screen time grounding.
Ask your agent
Here is what you can do. Ask your agent to help you understand your home network first, then to find out how you can manage your kids' internet during study hours and at night.
Rules, not spying
One little tip: don't be a helicopter parent. Ask your agent to enforce the family rules, not to spy on your kid.
