For instance, a thirteen-year-old may be mature enough for some higher-rated movies and shows, but not all content, so you wouldn\u2019t want to give them unfiltered access.<\/p>\n<p>As children get older, it\u2019s important to maintain an open dialogue with them about content boundaries: what you\u2019re happy for them to enjoy alone and what needs parental permission or supervision. It\u2019s a good idea to watch shows with them if you\u2019re at all unsure about the content.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to instill healthy habits around movies and TV shows so screen addiction doesn\u2019t become a problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight_PastelBlue\">If you\u2019re worried about your child\u2019s screen time, you can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/findmykids.onelink.me\/xY6s?pid=content_team&amp;amp;c=en&amp;amp;af_channel=blog&amp;amp;af_adset=article&amp;amp;af_ad=how-to-change-parental-controls-on-disney-plus&amp;amp;af_sub1=CTA\">Findmykids app<\/a> to closely monitor and manage their device. Using the app, you can also track their location and listen to the surrounding audio when they\u2019re out with friends to make sure they\u2019re safe.<\/p>\n<h2>Changing Parental Controls on Disney Plus: Setting Boundaries Is the Hard Part<\/h2>\n<p>Changing content ratings and account settings is relatively easy, thanks to the simple Disney+ interface. However, setting healthy boundaries with kids around screen time and appropriate content can be a challenge, especially as they grow older and want to keep up with their peers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to stay close to your child\u2019s Disney Plus world. Log in to your kid\u2019s profile regularly to check what they\u2019re watching; keep tabs on their device usage through an app like <a href=\"https:\/\/findmykids.onelink.me\/xY6s?pid=content_team&amp;amp;c=en&amp;amp;af_channel=blog&amp;amp;af_adset=article&amp;amp;af_ad=how-to-change-parental-controls-on-disney-plus&amp;amp;af_sub1=text\">Findmykids<\/a>, and be sure to keep the dialogue open so that if there\u2019s a problem, you\u2019ll be the first to know.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3>How do I turn parental controls off on Disney Plus?<\/h3>\n<p>You can turn off or adjust parental controls on the Disney Plus app or via your browser by going to your profile, selecting Edit Profiles, then adjusting the setting you want to change.
