Parent App Round-Up

There’s no doubt about it: we are living in a digital age. Children and teens of all ages are surfing the web and logging on to social platforms daily.Check out our round-up of some of the best browser toolbars, software systems, and apps that you can use to help keep your children and teens safe online

Children Safety Apps

The Parental Control Bar

The Parental Control Bar

The Parental Control Bar

When your child attempts to access a website, the toolbar first checks to see if the site is self-labeled, then compares this site label to your parental settings and determines whether to block or allow access. If the site is not self-labeled, then the toolbar scans an extensive list of 3rd-party labels before deciding whether to block or allow. The toolbar also allows parents to add specific websites to a personal ‘always blocked’ or ‘always allowed’ list. Although no system is ever perfect and cannot guarantee that all unwanted websites will be blocked, parents will be able to more effectively control the types of websites their children access with this tool.

Minor Monitor

The Parental Control Bar

Minor Monitor

The earliest parental control tools served the very specific purpose of keeping kids from accidentally (or deliberately) surfing to inappropriate websites. These days, for many kids, surfing the Web just isn’t a thing. Instead, they spend their time on social media. The free MinorMonitor service aims to help parents keep track of that social media activity.
