Online Parental Control

Some of the pros of a young child using the computer are as follows:

1. If a child is allowed to use the computer at an early age, he or she is able to develop his or her computer skills faster.
2. There are many child-appropriate Web sites which are educational and of benefit to the development of a young child.
3. The computer gives your young child quick and effective access to a large amount of educational material.

Some of the cons of a young child using the computer are as follows:
1. The Internet has many dangers. There are many inappropriate Web sites for young children, which can pop-up even when your child is not searching for them.
2. Even a young child can suffer from physical ailments such as neck pain and back pain, due to spending too much time on the computer on unbeneficial activities.
3. If your young child is using the computer for large periods of time doing activities that are of little benefit to his or her education, this is in effect a waste of precious childhood. The computer can be extraordinarily seductive to a child.
