Coloring Book: Boat On Sea

There are several ways to block inappropriate content on your child’s device. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Turn on browser filters: You can set up filters like Google SafeSearch to block explicit images, videos, and websites.
2. Use parental controls: Parental controls on phones and other devices can let you block specific apps and websites. You can also make shared family accounts that are password protected¹.
3. Ask your internet service provider (ISP): Some ISPs offer parental controls, content filters, or other screen-time features that can effectively limit exposure to pornography¹.
4. Install software: There are many software programs available that give parents and caregivers a lot of control over their child’s online activity. Many of these programs require paid subscriptions, although some have free trials¹.
5. Go the hardware route: Some hardware solutions, like Circle Home Plus, let you manage every device on your home Wi-Fi network.

It’s important to communicate with your child before implementing any of these options. Otherwise, they’ll find a way around any restrictions, even if you put them in place with your kids’ best interests in mind.
