Hello, my ADHD 9 year old keeps on trying to look up inappropriate things on her iPad and I can’t seem to control her.

I have put parental control and timers on the iPad and blocked words and sites that I don’t want her to access as well. She finds looking up things that she knows are bad things funny and will try and hack the system whenever she can. For example, she will put accents on the words (like for example “hate” to “hátè” and she will access the sites in this way and I can’t keep on top of the tactics she’s doing.

Today she made an account on a dating site and when I tried to talk to her about it, and stressed to her that this is a dangerous thing to do, she doesn’t seem to listen to me because of her ADHD.

Has anyone else had this problem and is there any other internet programs I can download or safety programs? Has anyone else had this problem with their child?

Thanks for your help Smile
