The Connected Family: Parental Internet Controls
Parenting in today’s digital age can be challenging, especially when monitoring your children’s online digital footprint. Never fear! Home Telecom has several parental internet controls so you can kick back, relax and enjoy spending time with your children.
Parental Internet Controls
Activating parental internet controls is important to help keep children safe online. Parents must worry about online predators and the type of content children access, especially since the Internet is a broad compilation of all data.
Home Telecom offers the MyWiFi Xtreme App. This easy-to-use app provides parents with the opportunity to select the following parental internet controls:
- Block Content – Parents can activate filters to block violent, inappropriate or pornographic content.
- Safe Search – Safe search filter options will work with both Google and Bing search engines, ensuring that blocked or inappropriate content doesn’t appear in search results.
- YouTube Restrictions – Enabling YouTube restrictions limits content to child-friendly videos and helps block inappropriate comments that may appear in some YouTube videos.
- Device Usage – The app allows parents to quickly check their child’s device usage and determine whether they need to set stricter parental internet controls.
- Time Limits on Connected Devices – The MiWiFi Xtreme app lets you set application limits so kids don’t stay on electronic devices all day. Parents can easily restrict time spent on video games, social media or YouTube videos.
