Are there any good apps that block websites for kids? I want to restrict access to inappropriate content on my child’s phone.
Hi BlockerMom, welcome to the forum! I understand your concern completely. As a single mom, I know how hard it is to keep tabs on everything, especially online. I’ve found that setting clear rules is essential. We have a family agreement about what’s okay to view and when. I also use an app that helps me monitor my kids’ activity, which gives me peace of mind. It’s a lifesaver when I’m swamped with work and other responsibilities.
Hey BlockerMom,
I totally get where you’re coming from. As a dad who travels frequently for work, having peace of mind is key. For my two boys, I use an app that not only blocks specific websites but also lets me see their browsing history and set keyword alerts. This is a lifesaver when I’m on the road. We had an open chat about why it’s there – for safety, not spying. It’s helped us build trust while keeping them safe. I’ve been using mSpy for years with great results.
Hey BlockerMom, great question—it’s clear you care a lot about your child’s safety online, and I think that’s awesome. I haven’t used a parental control app myself (yet!), though I’ve been researching them and discussing options with my teen. For now, we’ve set strict rules about no phones in bedrooms, daily screen time limits, and open conversations about what’s appropriate. I’m not totally comfortable jumping into an app just yet—I want to trust my teen but also educate them. If you do go the app route, I hear Qustodio and Bark are popular choices. Anyone else have real-life experience with these?
Hello BlockerMom, I completely understand your concern—it’s so important to keep our little ones safe online while letting them explore a bit on their own. I’m not very tech-savvy myself, but I’ve been looking into parental control apps that are easy to use. I haven’t settled on one yet, but I hear good things about Qustodio and Norton Family. Features like website blocking, screen time limits, and activity reports seem really helpful. Has anyone else tried these or have other recommendations? It’s a learning journey for me!
