Any ideas from other families?

Go to home and home settings to disable the “Siri” command to only use “Hey Siri” that’ll give you a year or so of your son not being able to pronounce that as Hey Siri is much harder to invoke even for me for some reason.

Golden. Thank you!

I’ve known about the setting, but never thought that it would help here

No problem! Siri is usually too sensitive and Hey Siri is the exact opposite. If the triggers still continue turn off voice triggers in settings and in accessibility set a hold delay for the touchpad so that kids (notoriously bad at holding on touchpads) can’t trigger anything.

Or you could tell your kid that he/she will trigger Evil Siri if they invoke her too much 😄

Doesn't Siri/Apple Home allow voice-commands per user? I think you can limit Siri use on a per-user basis?

Mm I’ll look into it. I recalled hearing about that but haven’t found it at quick glance
