In a family, several people often share the devices, and everyone has different needs. The children want to play and stay in touch with friends; the parents want this to happen safely and the day not to end in an argument over screen time. At Technik daheim we set up your devices so both fit together. We explain understandably which settings make sense, set up parental controls and screen time together with you and ensure that shared devices and the family calendar really help in everyday life. This way you get technology that makes family life easier instead of causing additional stress. Which routines really ease everyday family life is shown in our guide on the smart home for families; how to cut subscription costs for TV is in our article on streaming subscriptions. In everyday life the most helpful combination is usually stable Wi-Fi, a configured smart TV and streaming setup and an automatic data backup for the family photos.
What We Set Up for Your Family
Why Families Benefit From a Thoughtful Setup
One family account that holds all devices together
Many families set up new devices quickly and only later notice that important settings are missing. We start earlier: together with you we create a family account in which each child has its own profile with suitable filters and screen times. This way you see at a glance which devices are connected and which rules apply, instead of viewing each device in isolation. In the same appointment we also cover the topic of smart home setup on request.
- Each child gets their own profile with suitable filters
- All connected devices and rules at a glance
- Purchases only go through with a parent's confirmation
- Adjustable yourself later at any time, explained clearly
Set up parental controls
We set up age-appropriate filters, restrict purchases and ensure children mainly see what is meant for them. Explained understandably so you can adjust it yourself later.
Arrange screen time
Agreed times per day, breaks at mealtimes and quiet at night: we set up screen times so they are fair and work in everyday life without constant arguing.
Shared devices
One tablet for several children or a family computer: we create separate profiles so everyone has their own area and the settings are preserved.
Family calendar
Appointments, school events and hobbies in one place, visible to all: we set up a shared family calendar that syncs across all devices.
Safe media use
We explain how to talk with the family about content, recognize the inappropriate more easily and find a good approach to screens together.
All devices in view
From the children's tablet to the family computer to the smart speaker: we set up your devices in a coordinated way instead of viewing each one in isolation.
Parental Controls: Safe Online, Without Constant Monitoring
Parental controls do not mean constantly looking over the shoulder. It is about creating a safe framework from the start in which children can gather experiences without coming across content that overwhelms them. We set up age-appropriate filters, restrict unwanted purchases and make sure the most important apps and functions are suitably secured. We explain every setting so you can adjust it yourself later as your children grow older. We drive out for that too, more under tech help in Elze.
No technical setting replaces the conversation within the family and cannot prevent every case. Filters and locks are a helpful framework, not a substitute for guidance. That is why we always combine the setup with understandable tips on how to talk with your children about what they experience.
| What we set up | Without setup | With Technik daheim |
|---|---|---|
| Age-appropriate filters per child | Everyone sees everything | Graded per profile to fit |
| Purchases in apps and games | Often possible unwanted | Confirmation or locked |
| Suitable apps and content | All mixed together | Approved areas set up |
| Rules in everyday life | Re-discussed daily | Agreed once, carried together |
Age-appropriate filters
We set up filters that match your children's ages and adjust them with you. This way younger children see different content than older siblings, entirely according to your wishes.
Restrict purchases and subscriptions
Unwanted purchases in apps and games are a common nuisance. We set up confirmations and locks so nothing is bought without your knowledge.
Suitable apps and content
We help select suitable apps and hide unsuitable ones. On request we set up areas in which only approved content appears.
Set rules together
On request we involve the children and discuss the rules together. Agreed rules are more likely to be followed and cause less arguing in everyday life.
Technology is a framework, not a substitute for conversation
Arranging Screen Time Fairly, Without Constant Arguing
The question of screen time causes discussion in many families. We help you set up clear and fair rules that can be sustained in everyday life. These can be fixed times per day, breaks at mealtimes or quiet periods at night. What matters is that the rules suit your family and are not too rigid, so they work in real life. We show you how to adjust the times yourself later, for example during holidays or when a child grows older. A detailed look is given in our guide on whole-home Wi-Fi with mesh.
The whole week at a glance instead of daily debate
Well-made screen time settings relieve parents above all. Instead of discussing anew every day, the device takes over the reminder about the agreed time. School days, weekends and holidays can be arranged separately, and on request we set up positive incentives, such as extra time at the weekend. This way the rules do not consist only of restrictions.
- School day, Friday and weekend arranged separately
- The device reminds about the time, not you
- On request, positive incentives instead of mere restrictions
- Times adjustable yourself at any time, for example in the holidays
- Fair screen times per day, matched to the children's ages
- Automatic breaks at mealtimes and quiet at night
- Separate rules for school days and weekends or holidays
- The device reminds about the agreed time, not you
- On request, positive incentives instead of mere restrictions
- You can adjust the times yourself at any time, explained understandably
Shall we set up the technology for your family together?
One home visit is enough: we set up parental controls, screen times, profiles and calendar and explain everything clearly. Home-visit flat rate 79 €, travel within 10 km included. Simply call us or send us a message.
Sort It Out Yourself, a Filter App or a Home Visit?
Three routes to an orderly family life with technology, compared factually.
Home visit from Technik daheim
- Rules are set up together with everyone involved
- Router, devices and accounts work together
- Home-visit flat rate 79 €, price known in advance
- Explained so everyone understands, children included
A filter app on individual devices
- Quickly installed and often free
- Only applies to that one device, not the household
- Frequently bypassed or simply deleted
- The router stays out of the picture
Setting everything up yourself
- Costs nothing but time
- Settings are spread across many different menus
- With several devices it quickly gets confusing
- Arguments arise when the rules stay unclear
Shared Devices and the Family Calendar in Everyday Life
In families, several people often share a device. A tablet moves from one child to the next, the family computer is used by everyone. So that nothing gets mixed up, we set up separate profiles. Each child has their own area with their own settings, suitable content and the screen time sensible for their age. This keeps the device clear, and no one accidentally gets at the others' things. In our blog you will find the guide on the right backup strategy.
A shared family calendar additionally brings calm to everyday life. School appointments, sports clubs, doctor's appointments and family celebrations are in one place, visible to all, and sync automatically across all devices. Whoever enters an appointment ensures the whole family knows. This saves coordination and prevents appointments from being double-booked or forgotten. We set up the calendar so it is easy to operate and explain how to enter and share new appointments. You will find more of what we offer under technology for seniors.
Separate profiles
Each family member gets their own area on the shared device, with suitable settings and content. This keeps data separate and the rules preserved.
Shared calendar
All appointments in one place, automatically synced across all devices. Whoever enters something informs the whole family, entirely without extra coordination.
Coordinated device setup
We set up the tablet, family computer and smart devices so they fit together and the settings do not get in each other's way.
Overview to read back
On request we summarize the most important settings understandably so you can look them up and adjust them yourself later, without having to call us right away.
How the Setup Works at Your Home
We proceed calmly and comprehensibly and involve you. In the end, the technology should not only be set up; you should be able to operate and adjust it yourself when family life changes. If you are at it anyway, have a look under tablet course too.
Discuss your needs
We listen to which devices your family uses, how old your children are and what matters to you. This creates a plan that fits your daily life.
Set up safely
We set up parental controls, screen times, separate profiles and the family calendar and coordinate all devices with one another.
Set rules together
On request we involve the children and discuss fair rules so everyone is on board and daily life becomes more relaxed.
Explain and hand over
We show you how to adjust the settings yourself later and, on request, summarize the most important steps understandably.
