you may be surprised to learn that you can be a parent and have rules without being a "helicopter parent".

given your other bad faith comments in this thread, though, im sure you know that and are just trying to be contrarian for... fun? is it fun?

Empower parents. Parental controls are a minefield - especially with competing companies (ea, microsoft, steam, nintendo, apple) all doing their best to get you to turn them off so they can push lootboxes and other junk more easily.
