You can set up time limits independently for the Xbox and the PC, or you

can turn on “Use one schedule for all devices” to set the same amount of
screen time for both machines. (If you choose “One hour,” that means one
hour on each machine.)

You have two ways to limit this account holder’s brain-rotting time: by total

number of hours each day, or by specific times of the day (no computer on
school nights, for example):

Hours of availability. Click the graph to indicate the hours during
which computer use is OK. You might create an early-morning and
an after-school block, for example (Figure 11-7, bottom).

Time limits. Use the “Time limit” pop-up menu to specify a total
screen-time maximum for each day of the week within the

“available” hours. No more than three hours on school days, for
example (cumulatively). Of course, these limits apply only to this

one computer.

Your rugrats won’t be able to sign in outside of the permitted hours. And if

they’re signed in when the time block ends, they get a “time remaining”
warning or two, and then they’re dumped off, with a message that they’re
out of time. (Their programs and windows remain open in the background,

in suspended animation until the next approved time slot.)
