Setting screen time limits

Question

Hello,

Two questions : 

Can I use any device using my credentials,  to set screen time limits on a separate child's device or should I only do so on the actual device itself?

I want to set a daily 3.5 hour time limit on the child's device. Do I have to specify exactly what time this is for eg. 12 - 3.30pm, or can I create a time slot e.g.. 8am - 3pm so the child can use their allocated time during that window?

Thanks, all.

Answer 1

No worries!

Answer 2

Oh no! Thanks though.

Answer 3

I think you need to specify exact time.

Answer 4

Thank you so much!

Please can you let me know about the second part of the question? 

Very much appreciated, thank you.
