To protect kids from cyberbullying, harmful digital behaviour, and exposure to adult content like pornography, parents can use parental control and monitoring applications to help them set up systems that are less offensive to their kids.
A well-known computer magazine publishing website PC Mag have listed top 10 best parental control software for 2020. According to Rubenking and Moore of PC Mag, these parental control services can help parents to manage the ever-increasing number of devices that their kids use. Moreover, these computer applications can also block unwanted web content, limit screen time, restrict the use of risky applications, and more. Following is the list for these computer apps.
- Qustodio
- Kaspersky Safe Kids
- Norton Family Premier
- Circle Home Plus
- Clean Router
- Mobicip
- OpenDNS Home VIP
- Net Nanny
- SafeDNS
- McAfee Safe Family
The cost of these apps is ranging from as low as $8/€6.62 month up to $40/€33.08 depending on your usability. However, I recommended that parents should communicate with their kids before implementing any of these options, as it is essential for them to feel that their parents respect their privacy.
