What is Parental Control?
Parental control protects children from inappropriate web
sites, normally those containing Adult Content. Note that there
is no known software that can provide a 100% guarantee that your
children will not be able to access inappropriate material on the
web, some of this material can arrive by other means - for
example email. However, there are steps that you can take to
minimize the chance of children stumbling upon material
that may be inappropriate.
Parental Control Tips:
- Talk to your kids and establish the rules. Clearly define
what they may click on, and what they may not
- Know what you're children are doing! Know when they are
online. Never let small children surf alone!
- You may want to locate your PC in a public area of your home,
so you can keep an eye on the monitor
- Only allow children to explore approved sites. Pre-load the
site for them
- Explain to your child that if they come across a site that
they aren't sure about, they should TELL their parents
- Do not let children fill out Internet Forms
- If your children like to "Chat", make sure they are only
doing so at a "Kid-safe" web site. DON'T CHAT WITH
STRANGERS!
- Set time limits - Don't allow kids to spend all their time
online. Set a time limit on computer use.
- There a lot of great sites with more Parental Control Tips
