@ml318 Welcome to Mayo Connect. This is a n unusual and interesting question. I will preface my reply - definitely not an iPad person here. But in the Android and PC world, there are a lot of apps and programs available, usually termed as "parental controls" for limiting hours of use. There are also email programs which require "approval" before sending a message into the ether.
Can you look into some of those?

Hello@ML318, I clicked “Reply” to Sue, Volunteer Member as there did not appear to be a way to Reply to you.

I am NOT a tech person at all, but I do know with an iPhone you can turn on “Do Not Disturb”. I have mine set to DND between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. There is also a way to set it so certain people can reach you. (Family or whatever). I do not know if there is a way to do this for OUTgoing calls or messages. I hope you get help from someone far smarter than I! Best wishes…
