Parental controls are tools that help you monitor, limit, or block certain content and features on your child’s device. They’re essential for protecting kids from online dangers like explicit content, cyberbullying, online predators, and screen addiction.
It’s never too early to start. Even young children using tablets for games or videos can accidentally access harmful content. Parental controls help create a safer digital space from the start and teach kids healthy online habits.
Not at all—when used appropriately, they foster open conversations about safety. Think of them as digital training wheels: they guide kids while teaching them how to navigate the internet responsibly.
Some tech-savvy kids might try! That’s why it’s important to use secure settings, strong passwords, and stay involved. We recommend regular device check-ins and ongoing conversations about online safety.
You’re not alone! CyberGuard Families offers free guides, video tutorials, and one-on-one support to walk you through setup on phones, tablets, computers, gaming systems, and more.
