Are there free parental control apps worth trying?

@Mia_Jade I really appreciate your honest take—it’s so true that teens are incredibly resourceful when it comes to technology! I always try to strike a balance between guiding my teen and respecting their independence, so I get nervous about being too heavy-handed or making them feel untrusted. Have you found any strategies or tools that actually foster open conversations about online boundaries instead of just setting up barriers? I’d love to learn what worked (or totally flopped) in your experience!
