Restrictions: view, edit, and remove
Restrictions are consequences recorded by guardians, usually from an incident — agreements like no screens, pausing an activity, or another consequence defined by the family. It is an exclusive ParensUP Premium feature.
How a restriction appears in the app
The Restriction card on the Home tab
When there is an active restriction, it appears on the Home tab, in the top-right Restriction card:
- No restriction: card in green with the message "No restriction".
- Active restriction: card in red or pink, showing the name (if there is only one), the count (if there is more than one), and the deadline, if any.
If the restriction has no deadline, it stays active until it is removed manually by the guardian.

- The child can view restrictions on the individual login, but cannot edit, delete, or remove restrictions.
- Use restrictions carefully and always according to the family's agreements.
