my 7 year old likes to surf the net and play online games. should i be putting up parental screening programs on my laptop?

QmelQ - December 16th, 2010 3:17 AM

im always there when my son uses my computer and i only allow him certain websites so I know that it's safe.

they kids are still young so im not really worried about them going to porn sites or something.

they use my PC so I know what they are doing. perhaps when they are older I will put a monitor software.

i think you just need to discuss with him which sites are Ok and which are off limits.

just so long as you dont go to adult sites in your computer then your child wont be able to stumble upon them so they wont know about these sites.

i believe that if the environment is kid friendly then there wont be a need for very tough "security" measures.

the kids are still young and just like to go the the disney channel website. but perhaps when they get older, we'll see.

7 is still young. and what desiree said is true. as long as they dont see you surfing adult sites then i dont think you should worry about things like this for the time being.

LiSa - December 26th, 2010 4:39 PM

i think they are still too young to be going anywhere else except the usual sites they hangout in. So IMO you're still good.

do have inappropriate sites saved on your computer? if so then you should take them out or use private browsing. if no then your kids should be fine so long as they stay on the gaming site. but you should still check.

7 year olds can be curious so better take precautions. not exactly like parental screening but you have to keep an eye on them.

yes, you should put a parental control software, we don't know what he will end up though there are so many things in the internet

sundae_55 - February 21st, 2011 1:34 AM

CatelynnB3 - February 21st, 2011 3:04 PM

its really the age of information, its ok to have them use the internet but be sure you are there on their side to guide them

auburn_1980 - February 26th, 2011 2:32 AM

Parental Control Software it is! But don't underestimate your child's intelligence. They can find ways on how to use the internet their way.
