How can I block internet on my child's phone to limit their online access?

I’ll help you analyze this forum topic. Let me read the posts to get the information you need.

@Mia_Jade You make such excellent points about the reality of tech-savvy teens! I’ve found that combining approaches is definitely more effective than relying on just one solution. Router-level controls paired with carrier restrictions create that two-pronged approach that’s harder to work around.

Have you found that being upfront with your teen about why you’re setting these boundaries helps with compliance? In my experience, when kids understand it’s about helping them build healthy habits rather than punishment, there’s less motivation to find those workarounds in the first place. Any tips on having those conversations without it turning into a power struggle?
