Parental control software provides parents with automated tools to help protect their children and set restrictions while using computers and Internet. These controls may include: monitoring your kids' computer use, controlling the content which the child views on a device connected to the Internet, or limiting the amount of time they can use their device.
Web filters were the first popular type of parental controls to limit access to Internet content, especilally porn content. Almost all the products allow you to set a schedule during which Internet access is allowed, URL, or website blocking. Some porn filters supports website blocking according to the pre-compiled website ratings in their database. This is useful, because you can't possibly enter all the unwanted websites by hand. They may also allows restrictions on gaming playing and applications. The following is a site about

Here are a few additional recommendations about parental control:
-- Install your home computer in the living room, where you can walk by from time to time. Try not to make your teenager feel like you are spying on him / her though.
-- Try to show some interest in what your child is doing on the internet. Talk about the fun stuff, so that they know that it's o.k. to talk about it.
-- Make sure they understand not to send their name or address over the internet to someone they have never seen in real life.
