Abstract: Parental control applications are essential for promoting healthy digital habits among children. This paper introduces Kid Care, a parental control system for Android mobiles and Android TVs that enforces strict screen time limits. Once the allowed time expires, the screen is automatically disabled and can only be reactivated with a secure passcode, ensuring parental supervision. The system includes uninstallation protection to prevent unauthorized removal. Kid Care is evaluated for its usability, security, and performance, addressing challenges like power efficiency and bypass prevention. Future improvements involve integrating AI-based monitoring and adaptive usage analytics. The study highlights the growing importance of reliable digital parenting solutions in today's connected environment.
