1. 1. Review app install and purchase approvals

   Prevents accidental downloads and billing surprises.

2. 2. Set age-appropriate content and privacy limits

   Default settings are often too open for younger users.

3. 3. Discuss scam warning signs as a family

   Practice and shared language help kids pause before responding.

4. 4. Check emergency contacts and location sharing

   Fast communication matters in urgent situations.

5. 5. Schedule the next family settings review

   Safety settings drift over time as apps and habits change.
