Technology can help you monitor your child's online activities

You purchased your child a new computer. Your friend suggested you to get your child an internet connection too - as internet is the ultimate learning tool. You found it hard to deny your child the universe of knowledge. And you provided your child - the internet connection.

Now your child sits on the computer for long hours. In the depth of yourself, you're simply jumping with joy; the joy of being the spectator to your child's tryst with knowledge.

But like most parents you are looking at only one phase of the coin.

Internet indeed is one vast encyclopedia. But it has one serious shortcoming --it's not censored. It's like a book where both porn and nursery rhymes are stacked next to each other. Not only this, the reader has no idea what type of page he or she is going to land upon.

Another analogy - internet is a society, where any person irrespective of his age can interact, influence and indoctrinate the other person. In short a pedophile can interact, influence and indoctrinate a ten year old.

Internet is a universe of knowledge, but only to a trained individual. A person who has the discretion to decide what is good and what is bad for him/her.

A trained mind concept can apply to you, but can it apply to a child as well?

Does a ten year old, have the discretion to decide between good and bad?

The answer is obvious.

Ask yourself: "What can I do as a parent to ensure the safety of my child when he/she's online in my absence?"

The answer lies in parental controls.

You need Parental controls to protect your children from negative influences of the web.

But as you can't monitor your child 24 hours a day, personal monitoring and control can be a very effective method to ensure the child's online safety. That apart, the fact that good learning also needs some freedom, defeats this method.

So the answer to effective parental control lies in the technology.

PC TattleTale offers one such technology.

PC TattleTale is a complete Internet Monitoring and Parental Control Software solution for parents who are deeply concerned about the safety of their child.

PC TattleTale comes packed with some of these powerful features:-

1) It monitors your child's activities on Social networking site(s) like MySpace, Facebook etc.
2) It captures all the passwords and records the keystrokes.
3) It records online chats.
4) It does screenshot recordings.
5) It monitors his/her e-mails and creates reports.

Remember Internet is a universe of information, but only to a person trained to have discretion. Giving a child net access without effective parental controls is like handing a book to a child where both porn and nursery rhymes are stacked next to each other.
