Further, be proactive and take specific steps in advance to prevent your child from being exposed to online dangers while using their digital devices.
Use “Tools”, better known as Parental Controls on all internet-enabled devices including smartphones, computers, tablets and gaming systems. Most parental controls allow a parent to set different levels of controls for different children. When used together, these tools provide effective layers of protection. Turn on Parental Control Tools to:
-
Set filters to block inappropriate content, including pornography.
-
Set monitoring/accountability tools to track apps usage, website visits, e-mails, messaging and other internet activities. Monitoring also provides detailed reports on the child’s online activities.
-
Set time limits.
-
Block inappropriate apps or games.
-
Set up parent-approved buddy and gamer lists to limit who your child can communicate with.
It is imperative that you use both Rules 'N' Tools® with each of your children on all devices they use. Follow the link here for “Rules” -- non-technical measures in addition to the " Tools" above to help you become a better cyber-savvy parent.
