Parenting in the digital age can feel like a full-time job.

Keep reading to discover how you can help keep your squad safe!
Monitor Online Content
The internet is a vast playground, but not all corners are safe for young minds. By taking the necessary precautions and utilizing parental controls, you can help to ensure your children avoid accessing harmful or inappropriate content. Set filters to block specific websites or types of content and receive real-time email and text alerts when potential issues are detected. This way, you can stay in the loop about what your kids are up to online without having to comb through every single post and text!

Track Your Kids’ Location
If your kids are at the age where they’re starting to venture out on their own, it can be comforting to know their location in real-time. Today, many parental control apps are fully equipped with GPS-tracking features that allow your whole family to track each other’s locations! With Bark’s check-ins and location alerts, you will receive instant alerts the minute your child arrives at or leaves a location you’ve set. And for instances when you may just need to know your kid’s exact location, simply request a check-in and see the address of where they’re currently located.

Set Screen Time Limits
We all know how easy it can be to lose track of time, especially when you’re glued to your screen. Whether your children regularly spend time watching YouTube videos, playing online games, or scrolling through social media, screen time can quickly add up. But, with parental controls, you can create custom daily screen time schedules for your child or teen’s devices while helping them develop healthier online habits. Plus, you avoid the battle of taking away your child’s devices–these parental controls will do the heavy lifting for you!

Receive Automatic Alerts
Life can get busy, and you can’t always be there to monitor your kids’ online activities every minute of the day. This is where automatic alerts come in handy. Parental control apps can send you instant notifications if your child attempts to access blocked content or surpasses their daily screen time limit. These alerts allow you to address potential issues promptly, providing an opportunity to talk to your kids openly about online threats.
