[blParent] Looking for some good apps and books

[Edward Green]

Hi Jen,

Regarding your phone question, Google has an app called Google Family Link 
which will let you set screen time and other parental controls on a child's 
Android phone if it's an Android phone your daughter wants.

Cheers,

Ed
