Screen Time
The internet can help children develop socially and academically. But too much time online, playing games, socialising and so on, can have a negative effect. For children, a balance of online and offline activities is important.
Many older children spend time on the internet socialising, studying and for entertainment. There is no guideline for the right amount of time for children to spend online, however if their online behaviour appears to impact negatively on their behaviour or wellbeing, or that of the family, it may be time to discuss expectations, and establish online time limits.

Tips
Understanding Restrictions - Parental Management
Restrictions limit the way the iPad can be used. For example you are able to turn off the default browser, Turn off Youtube access, iTunes, and the installation and deletion of Apps. The restrictions are protected through the use of a passcode. This passcode must not be forgotten as it is the only way to access these settings after it has been set.
Once you have set this, it is recommended that you backup the iPad. By backing the iPad up now, you are able to restore the iPad along with the restictions passcode at a later time if required.
