Welcome Smileycat12,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, we're glad to have you here. It sounds like you wish to set up a weekly Screen Time limit for your child's iPhone. We'll do our best to explain what's possible at this time.


Currently, there isn't a way to limit usage by week, however, there is the ability to do it daily using App Limits. Check out that section here: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


This also covers more about parental controls and how to set them up: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Hopefully you'll be able to find a solution using the available features of Screen Time.


Wishing you the best, take care!
