Keeping tabs on kids' screen time just got easier with Google's latest parental control tools. The new Google Family Link lets parents manage which apps their kids use, set limits during school hours, and even approve who they can call and text. Features like pausing notifications and blocking websites give parents more ways to enforce tech rules — whether they’re strict monitors or just looking for a little peace of mind. With schools pushing for phone bans and social media tightening restrictions, these updates help parents strike a balance between safety and accessibility.
