It is a dangerous world out there.
As every parent knows, we never know what lurks around every corner of the cyberbully on your child’s laptop. And it may not be possible to know everything, but we also don’t want our kids to be too scared to go out in the world.
So what can we do to make our kids and family safer and to give us peace of mind?
Well, some tech tools and gadgets can help!
The Parental Control Bar.
The Parental Control Bar is a free service that helps concerned parents prevent their children from accessing adult-oriented websites. In addition, it can help protect your family from accessing inappropriate content that they may not be ready for. When your child attempts to access a website, the toolbar first checks to see if the site is self-labeled, then compares this site label to your parental settings and determines whether to block or allow access.
As a result, you will be able to more effectively control the types of websites their children access with this tool.
