Default Disney Circle (internet usage)

I ordered the disney circle today in hopes our family can all get a bit of a grip/control on how much we are connected online. It's been a really really REALLY long winter here and I hope that spring will help us all get out of the slump

Does anyone else use this? Is it pretty easy to get a handle of? Anything I should know?

It has been in my Amazon Cart for awhile. Another Babe/Designer posted something about it on FB.

Ours literally just showed up yesterday! I want a way of blocking YouTube for kiddo and to shut everything down at a certain point at night. He has a friend that recently got a phone, too, and that friend calls/texts way too late. Plus I can limit his online time. I haven't set it up yet though, but I will be soon.

Oh this seems like a great product for when my kids are old enough for Internet and phones.

I wish this had existed (or I'd known about it) when my boys are younger. Now that they are 17 & 18, it's harder to put controls on what they do.
I hope it helps, Kristin! I would have loved to be able to cut down on (all of our) online time a few years ago!!

Default Circle

I've been using circle for over a year.
You can set your profile for your devices to not monitor your time or history on the adult filter.
It;s pretty eay to use and set up. If your kids devices have cellular as well, they can and will switch over to that to avoid the circle restrictions, so be aware of that pitfall
I have a profile for each kid, plus each adult, and then one that is for devices that are on all the time like the tivo. I've also put alexa on its own profile, because it's been mainly for listenin to music and I didn't want that to count against their usage. There are age range filters, and then you can go turn off various things like youtube or minecraft or set time limits for them.
Bedtime setting is wonderful.
Feel free to ask me any questions,
Sybil
