So Christmas is in less then 2 weeks and I have to start thinking about internet security for minors. See for my 7 year old’s Christmas present, his mother and I have got together and bought him a new laptop. He loves using mine, but I think it is time he has his own so he can play when he wants. There in lies the problem.
I don’t have the first clue of blocking access to ALL sites that he shouldn’t be visiting. I know I can block certain sites, but I can assure you I don’t know the name of every site out there that is not child friendly. Does anyone know any hints as to what to use to block mature content. He is very bright and curious so sometimes he goes on a tangent searching and sometimes “bad” sites show up under legit search results.
Please help if you can. I will be setting the laptop up near mine so I can monitor him, but I still want to be safe just in case he happens to be on when I am not right there with him. Parenting gets scary as the kids get older!
