When should I start using parental controls?
.svg){kind=icon}
A good time to consider using parental controls is when your kid gets their first device or smartphone or starts using a device without supervision.
Aura’s parental controls help you to understand and control your child’s activities on their devices. For example, you can block inappropriate content, set time limits for specific apps and receive notifications when they go over, view their web browser history, and get insights into their online activity.
Kids today are surrounded by technology and their relationship with it changes over time. At times, you may want to consider adjusting your parental controls settings for each child’s account. Aura Parental Controls are flexible and customizable making them a great tool for kids of all ages.
When is a good time to talk to kids about online safety?
It’s never too late to talk to kids about online safety, but experts and parents agree: the sooner, the better.
Talking to your kids about why online safety is important is much more impactful than setting rules and boundaries without explanation. During your talk, make sure to address issues, such as:
- Screen time: Explain the need for screen-free time and why you will set limits on your child’s device.
- Social media: Show them how social networking sites work and what’s appropriate (or not) to share.
- Mature content: Warn them about adult content and make sure they know who to talk to if they come across it.
- Malware: Explain how viruses make devices sick and how they should ask before downloading apps or trying to watch tv shows on streaming sites you haven’t approved.
- Online privacy: Teach your children not to share private or personal information online — even their address, school name, or phone number.
Talking to your kids about online safety and screen time is a lot like talking to them about any other activity with clear rules and boundaries (following a curfew or driving a car for the first time). If you start from the outset, there are fewer surprises down the road.
