Internet Safety - Parental Controls

Tips to Keep Your Children Safe Online

Parents have an uphill battle keeping up with the new technologies and websites in order to keep their families safe.  Here at Indian Grove, we understand the challenge and would like to share some tips and tools to make this responsibility a bit more manageable.

Learn the basics of the internet at LearnTheNet.com.  If you still have some questions about the internet, or feel your kids know more than you do, this is a great place to start!

Start a “Chat” with your children.  Talk to you kids about their online activities.  What are their favorite websites or online games?  Find out who your children are talking to online and what they are talking about.

Take advantage of Parental Controls.  Many operating systems, video game consoles, internet browsers and cell phone providers offer parental controls that allow you to restrict websites, monitor activity and limit access… you can even stop/block texting and phone calls during certain hours of the day!
