As much as I love Google (not even a little, my love for that company is negative and becoming more negative per second) I would love to run far far away from it. Here's another ball and chain I need to break.

Where can I find a simple parental control access system for my phone and or computer that I allow my kids to use?

That only prevents phone connectivity over WiFi. Turning off WiFi and using mobile data bypasses it. Using offline applications and games (or even Plex/Jellyfin etc) can bypass it too.

Family link does more than stop internet access at certain times, it allows setting usage limits by device and by app.

oh fair point, yeah, i was thinking about just tablets and computers; that makes sense.
