We're here to help.
First off, we know this can be frustrating and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Roots doesn't offer traditional parental controls where you can forcefully limit your child's screen time. Instead, we focus on building healthy tech habits through personal ownership and reflection.
We’ve found that one of the most powerful things parents can do is lead by example - kids are more likely to change their habits when they see you doing it too. If your child is in their teens, we recommend inviting them to use Roots themselves and then having open conversations about it as a family.
Roots makes it easy to look back on screen time together, celebrate wins, and talk about what’s working and what’s not. It’s less about control, and more about building trust and long-term habits—together.
