talk2ham.1 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 How effective are they? How do you monitor your children's internet usage? If your kids are smarter than you on the internet and can figure out how to get around these controls plus delete history, how do you check up on them for their protection? Especially now with so many handheld devices, it seems it would be easy for kids to hide and go to the wrong sources for information or make friends with the wrong people without mom and dad's awareness unless we are really, really vigilant to know our way around better than they do. Am I right here? I am asking because, I have very young children who are gaining internet sense much faster and younger than I imagined. This issue is coming around the corner sooner than I hoped and I'd like to be ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talk2ham.1 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 We currently have a Google phone which is an Android device. Would the Windows stuff work on that? And we don't have I-phones, we have I-pads. Does that mean parental controls are not going to work on those. Those are the ones I especially wanted set up with since the kids use those most for games and movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Listening.....looking for something for an Android tablet... We use Webwatcher on the laptop and give it high marks...It's more of a monitoring system than blocking though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom@shiloh Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 We use Net Nanny and have liked it so far. We choose what types of things get blocked and it also shuts down internet usage at whatever time you program into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
