Can you be more specific about what actions one would take as part of "monitor your children's electronics" to prevent these problems?

if you just want your toddler to access a couple of apps from your tablet, create a restricted account that can only access these apps.

What if I want something in between locking them down to a couple of apps, and letting them accidentally send contacts to some app maker?

Ideally, you should have more granularity in the permissions of restricted accounts, with the option to let the second profile install app but with a prompt for the admin password when a new permission is required or a payment is started.
Sadly, AFAIK, there is no way to do that.

Right, so that's exactly the sort of thing being asked for, and it's what got this annoying/useless "just monitor your kids" response.
