Parental Responsibilities

Dont assume the worst about your child, but protect them from ignorance and foolishness.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death. (Proverbs 19:18)

Pleasant words promote instruction. (Proverbs 16:21)

Parental ResponsibilitiesLimit how much time they spend online and on mobile devices. For mobile phones, check the bill for a complete log of all texts and phone calls (including to whom, how often and at what time).

Follow/friend/subscribe to your kids online personas and follow passively to allow them self-expression.

Check who they follow/friend and let the child know you have final approval for this group of influencers.

Have a zero-tolerance policy. Taking phone and Internet privileges away is a big deal to teens.

Parental Responsibilities

Make a rule for family members not to delete any history or logs because they are to be spot-checked randomly. You can password protect this on both Macs and PCs.

Use your calendar reminders to regularly check-in on your kids accounts, review their history/logs and the amount of mobile time used.

Have each person come up with a unique, hard-to-break password. Keep a master record of all passwords and go check on their activity regularly.

and parental options are included with the Mac

operating system.

PC SafetyMicrosoft Windows also provides built-in

SafetyPasswords

Both PC and Macs offer password protection for parents under the security settings.

Passwords are hugely important and must be kept safe. Identity theft can happen to kids, too!

Mobile Phone & Device Safety

Parental controls for cell phones fall into three distinct categories:

Content filtersThese allow parents to set filters for what multimedia content their children can download to their phones. While content filters are more important for smartphones with full web access and video download capability, most cell phones now have some kind of browser. However, parents should be aware that content filters are not foolproof and inappropriate content can also be received via text, IM or e-mail.

Mobile Phone & Device SafetyUsage controlsUsage controls put the parent in charge of a childs cell phone usage, regulating the number of calls and text messages. They can also block certain numbers or restrict outgoing calls to a pre-approved list, and even disable the phone during certain times of day, like during school hours or after a certain time at night.

Mobile Phone & Device Safety

Location and monitoring controlsThese can be used to monitor a childs whereabouts through built-in GPS systems. Some systems can even send alerts when a childs cell phone moves out of a pre-agreed zone or range.
