Child Account on Parent's Mac

With my kids stuck at home, they need to use my Macs for school. I thought setting up a restricted account would be easy?? I see Admin, Standard, Sharing Only and Group. Where is the account with parental control options. Sigh

Set up a standard account, then use Screen Time System Prefs to manage the account.

There isn't a "managed" account type. In reality, there isn't any difference between Admin and Standard except Admin is allowed to elevate their privileges.

With Screen Time, you set restrictions on a standard account.
