Am i just stupid.... Or does parental controls suck. If i activate them then it restrictions all users. Yes, even the master account. So when I activate for my 4 year olds age, I am blocked out of everything and need to disable them so I can play anything with an esrb rating of e10 or higher... When I'm done, I need to Re enable them

Parental controls for PS4?

Just click sub accounts instead of restrict PS4 features.

Sub account restrictions only stop him from buying stuff on the store and sending messages. He would still be able to play bloodborne

Also, Wtf, esrb? The recommendations are atrocious. 10 years+ for Rayman? 6 years+ for LBP? 3 years+ is E  C. I've never seen an EC rated game before. But i can only imagine how mind numbingly boring it'd be for a 5 year old. They are probably leap frog games. Who is in charge there? Dinosaurs probably.  Their ratings need to be reevaluated.

Reading around, it looks like you can only restrict games on a system wide basis. WTF.

Yup, I first made a sub account for him, Maxosaurus-rex, he loves it. Then, I restricted the sub account stuff. Made a passcode on my login. But i noticed he was still able to access higher rated games. So I started playing around with the settings. I set it up how I wanted it. No online access, Level 4 (so e10 and below allowed) on games and movies. When I went to my name everything was blocked. This isn't an issue right now as he only plays with me but in a couple years time (March 2017) he'll be 6 and probably able to navigate and explore the UI and games himself

Can't you just put the games away you don't want him to play and take your card off psn so he can't buy anything?
