Parents often feel conflicted between letting children browse on the Internet and protecting them from online dangers. Parental control software is an option for concerned parents.
Parental control software acts like a bodyguard for your children as they browse online. It can block inappropriate Web sites, track the Web sites your child visits, and restrict children from sharing personal information. See the encyclopedia entry on parental control software for more information, and then visit the Tools page for links to software.
Whether through the use of parental control software or keeping a watchful eye as children browse, parents should become informed about their children's Internet activity. Children are more likely to practice good Internet behavior at school and friends' houses, if parents teach responsible habits at home.
