Make internet accessible to your child .

I would like to keep tabs on my teenaged daughter’s internet access. As a teenager she is curious and eager to know about many things, which are not right for her age. I cannot exercise direct authority on her as this leads to friction between us. How can I keep a watch without her coming to know about it?

You could try a program like K9.

K9 Web Protection - Free Internet Filtering and Parental Controls Software


Although a teenager is getting to the age where they will be making their own decisions on these matters, I agree it can be worrying for the parents.



Also, most kids these days know their way around computers better than their parents.

The best way forward is to discuss things with them and warn of the dangers. IMO

Re: Make internet accessible to your child.

Log on to <spam link removed>. The site has answers to your problem. With ****** you can ensure your children are only receiving contact from approved people and that they are only sending approved information to others. One of the features on the site will enable all emails of your ward to be routed through you. The other features at ****** will enable you keep a complete check your child.

The old bait and switch tactic.

The IP gives them away every time.

Maybe I'm becoming tainted but I just knew when the first post appeared that it was a setup.
