With the explosion of the Internet, instant messaging, email and
social media sites there are even more reasons for parents to be
concerned about their children's safety. If you are worried about
the amount of time your children spend on the Internet or
that they are visiting inappropriate websites while you are not able
to supervise them, then an Internet safety program with time control
is something you should investigate.
Time control will allow you limit the total amount of elapsed time
your child spends on the computer while also allowing you to specify
what time of day your child is allowed access. By allowing them
access to the computer only while you are available to supervise
them you will be able to monitor exactly what they are doing.
There are many children who, if allowed, will remain on the computer
all night long playing online video games or chatting with friends.
These kids will be happy to neglect their homework and a night's
sleep for entertainment. Time control allow parents to set usage
limits by child so that there will be no late night sessions, no
skipping homework to play video games and no fighting over computer
time among siblings. You can easily set specific homework time and
then follow that with computer time so that you know your children
have adequate time to finish their homework and then enjoy the
computer.
Many parents also want to make sure their children are only using
the computer when adult supervision is available. They are concerned
that children will frequent social media sites too much, play
violent video games or visit adult websites. They are also concerned
about who could be contacting them via instant messaging or email.
Time control can help alleviate these concerns as you can set
specific times of day that each child is allowed to access the
computer. You can also configure computer quotas and schedules on a
daily or weekly basis and easily change them at anytime via simple
system controls.
Rest assured that if your child is a computer genius there are
software controls in place that will not let them tamper with your
settings or adjust the computer's internal clock. Although they may
know a lot more about computers than you do, they will not be able
to override your safety parameters.
Time control are a simple to use feature of online safety software.
If you have a child that is old enough to use a computer then
consider using an online safety program to help make sure your child
is safe while enjoying their time on the Internet.
