On your child’s iPhone: go to Settings > Screen Time > Turn On Screen Time > This is My Child’s iPhone, set a Screen Time Passcode, then use Content & Privacy Restrictions (On) > Content Restrictions to set age ratings and Web Content (Limit Adult Websites or Allowed Websites Only), plus App Limits and Communication Limits as needed.

To manage remotely: set up Settings > [your name] > Family (Family Sharing) > add your child, then on your device open Settings > Family > your child > Screen Time to adjust everything from your phone.

If you want more detailed activity reports, consider reputable App Store parental-control apps (e.g., Qustodio, Bark, Net Nanny); they require installing a management profile/VPN on the child’s device and still operate within Apple’s restrictions.

Tell me the iPhone models and iOS versions for both devices and I can tailor exact menu paths.
