2-Minute Setup: How ParentalEdge's Age-Based Rules Make Protection Effortless

4 min read

Setting Up Parental Controls Shouldn't Be Hard

Setting up parental controls often feels overwhelming: endless menus, manual limits, and guessing what's "right" for your child's age.

What if it could be truly simple? Just add your child, select their age group, and everything configures automatically.

That's the magic of ParentalEdge's Age-Based Auto Setup — designed for busy, non-tech parents who want strong protection without the hassle.

How It Works in Just 2 Minutes

1. Sign Up and Add a Child

Enter name and birthdate (or select age range).

2. Choose a Profile

  • Elementary (5-10 years)
  • Pre-Teen (11-15 years)
  • Teen (16-17 years)

3. Done!

All rules apply instantly:

  • Screen time limits
  • Bedtime and restricted windows
  • Web filtering categories
  • App blocking and limits
  • Safe search enforcement

No scrolling through options. No second-guessing.

What Each Profile Automatically Configures

Profile Daily Limit Bedtime Lock Social Media/Games Web Protection
Elementary 3 hours 10 PM – 6 AM Blocked / 1 hour games Strictest (14 harmful categories blocked)
Pre-Teen 4 hours 10:30 PM – 5 AM Blocked / 1 hour games Strict + extra safeguards
Teen 6 hours 11 PM – 5 AM Allowed (monitored) / 1 hour games Balanced (harmful blocked, more freedom)

Essential apps (Phone, Messages, Maps) always work. Educational content stays unlimited.

Why This Changes Everything

Saves Hours

No manual tweaks for bedtime, apps, or websites.

Grows With Your Child

Switch profiles as they age — rules update seamlessly.

Evidence-Based

Defaults drawn from child development guidelines, with flexibility to customize later.

Peace of Mind

Protection starts immediately, even if you're new to parental controls.

A Parent's Experience

Anita, mom of two in Bangalore:

"I tried other apps and gave up halfway through setup. With ParentalEdge, I added my 8- and 13-year-old, picked their ages, and it was done. Bedtime locks worked that night — no arguments!"
