Children & Age Groups
A child is a profile within a family, defined by their name and birth date. Phosra uses the birth date to compute the child's current age and map them to an age group, which determines the default rule configurations.
Age groups are:
| Group | Ages | Screen Time Default | Content Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toddler | 0-2 | 30 min/day | TV-Y only |
| Preschool | 3-5 | 60 min/day | TV-Y, G |
| Elementary | 6-9 | 90 min/day | TV-Y7, PG, E |
| Tween | 10-12 | 120 min/day | TV-PG, PG-13, E10+ |
| Teen | 13-15 | 150 min/day | TV-14, PG-13, T |
| Older Teen | 16-17 | 180 min/day | TV-14, R (with parent), T |
When a child's age group changes (e.g., they turn 13), you can regenerate their policy rules to match the new bracket using POST /policies/{policyID}/generate-from-age.
