Computers are the place for children. This is the place where they can
sharpen their agility as well as their abilities. They can learn and
make new friends. What’s more, the Internet provides information for
homework assignments. So far, so good. But they also need to be
protected from the computer—for one thing, so that they don’t lose their
sense of time and forget to go out and play with their friends once in a
while, and for another, because of the dangers lurking on the Web.
Give children an “allowance” of time
Child Control keeps track of the time your kids spend in front of the
computer. Once their time is up, the computer automatically shuts down
and won’t start up again—something any kid can understand. Our
experience has shown that Child Control verdict is accepted without
arguments—there is no debate and no discussion. Another way of looking
at it: “Child Control gives your kids back time that they are then free
to spend in other ways.”
Safety on the Internet
It isn’t always easy to watch your young ones’ every move on the
computer—and it’s even harder to follow what they’re doing on the
Internet. Child Control can also help you here, by automatically
shutting the door on their Internet connection once their allotted time
is used up. Parents can easily regulate how many hours a day each child
can spend on the Internet, and even specify the precise hours of the day
when the gate to the worldwide online community will be available.
The Dark Side of the Internet
Sure, you can find any number of sites that are useful for learning,
reference, and games. Then there are the other ones that are clearly
inappropriate for children and teens. Some parents also worry about
their children ending up on one of these sites by accident, or as the
result of a dare. These fears can be quickly put to rest by Child
Control, which has already made a name for itself in Internet
monitoring.
Control Internet access using filters
Child Control lets you activate filters to block all websites oriented
toward violence or sex. You can also filter out specific words that may
appear on various websites. Alternatively, you can limit access to only
the websites that you specify. In that case, your kids will only be able
to access these sites, and all others will be off-limits. In the
current version, parents can also limit their kids’ stay on certain
sites to a specified time, so that eventually they will have to put
their online games away and get back to their homework.
