Step 8 of 12, 20 Dec: Build three profiles. Three profiles cover most families. The 12 steps of Christmas, about 10 mins.

A profile is a list of apps to block. You don't need one for every situation. Three cover most families.

Do it

  1. School: block almost everything. Leave calls, texts, maps and anything school asks for.
  2. Home: the relaxed one. Block what you're not ready for yet, and allow the rest.
  3. Bedtime: block everything except calls and the alarm.

In Brickify, give each profile a name and pick the apps it blocks. On iPhone, this is where iOS asks you to allow Family Controls. Say yes, because that's what lets Brickify block apps at the system level.

Start strict, loosen later

It's much easier to unblock an app as a reward than to take one away. Profiles change as your child does. The gift that grows with them explains how.
