The Internet is a good tool for learning, as it contains a huge arsenal of useful information, and also provides an opportunity to communicate with friends. But in addition to useful information on the Internet, there are sites that children do not want to visit. In addition, a long “walk” on sites distracts the child from completing school homework. Caring parents need to be sure to control the child's time on the Internet, as well as limit him from unnecessary information.
Instructions
Step 1
The most effective helpers in these cases are special restrictive programs developed by specialists in the field of programming and computer science and designed to control access to the network. Install KidsControl, Kaspersky Internet Security and / or Norton Internet Security on your computer. With the help of these programs, you can restrict access to unfavorable resources according to different information categories, for example, "adult" sites, online casinos and games.
Step 2
Specify the checkbox for the category of resources to which you plan to restrict access. New versions of the above programs also provide the ability to control children's access to the Internet by day or hour.
Step 3
According to the developers of these programs, the functionality of the web filter is based on the so-called database of several million sites. Also, music sites and videos can be classified as filter categories.
Step 4
Limit your kids' access to unwanted sites by connecting to a kid's plan offered by internet providers. It comes in two flavors: for audiences aged six to ten and ten to fourteen. For each age group, access is provided only to those resources that have passed the expert assessment of the National Internet Security Site and are protected from malicious content.
Step 5
Give your child more time. Spending many hours at the computer, a growing child is looking for answers to many questions, for which often parents simply do not have enough time. Organize family trips to the cinema, nature trips, and play board games with him. After all, it is the lack of communication that creates the need to spend their leisure time on the Internet, communicating in various social networks. Limit the child's need to look for answers on different sites, replace his virtual social circle with a full-fledged relationship between parents and children.
