You’ll know who they’re calling or texting when and for how long, and Qustodio even lets you see exactly what they’re watching on YouTube and whether that “cat video” they keep going to really is a cat video. You can see where they’re going in real life too, thanks to the Family Locator.Īnd you can nip a tween’s social media addiction in the bud - an important tool in addressing the growing problem of cyberbullying.
You can also set how much screen time they’re allowed, no matter which device they switch to. Once you’re on, you can set filters to block out pornography, games or other inappropriate apps or sites you don’t want them on - and even your cleverest kid won’t find a workaround in her browser’s private mode. Qustodio acts as a gentle gatekeeper for all your children’s online activities, letting you monitor what they’re doing on their devices from a distance, letting you set time limits on their usage and giving you the option of tracking calls and devices to see who your child is talking to or texting and where they’ve been.Īll you have to do is download the Qustodio app to your device and your child’s, a quick and painless setup that’ll have you in control of their screen time almost instantly. In no time, you’ll be monitoring your kids’ internet use in a way that won’t be overbearing but that lets you know they’re safe. That’s where Qustodio comes in, and with a special offer through CNN (using the code CNN15OFF), you can save 15% off of all premium plans anywhere in the world through June 18. But there’s a line between using smart devices to help you parent and letting them take over your children’s lives. Not just as ways to keep your children entertained (and quiet and not destroying anything) for an hour or two but as increasingly useful and necessary instruments for learning and social contact. In today’s world of incessant work demands, overscheduled kids’ calendars and too little free time all around, smart devices aren’t just an extra tool in a parent’s arsenal - they’ve become essential.
