How to Set Up Parental Filter Android for Kids’ Devices?

Hello everyone, I’m setting up a phone filter for my child and want to make sure it’s safe to use. I’m specifically trying to configure a parental filter Android setup that can restrict harmful content, limit certain apps, and manage daily screen time. I’m not very technical, so simple and clear instructions would really help. If you’ve already done this on an Android device, could you share what worked best for you?
