Internet Monitoring, Blocking, and Tracking

Nowadays computers often play a big role in the lives of even very young children. Many parents are keen to have their young children using the home computer as soon as possible, considering that this will give them a head-start in their education. Children are using computers at a very early age, as young as preschool. Protecting minors from inappropriate material on the Internet is a parental task that still has no perfect solutions, however parental control software programs provide significant assistance to parents who want to keep their children safe. It gives them the ability to prevent their kids from harmful web sites, chat rooms, and programs, whilst still allowing their kids to enjoy the educational and entertaining resources that are available on the web, and accessible though the computer.

Parents and educators should control their young child's computer and only let their young children use the computer/Internet very selectively. People, groups and organizations from all walks of life are creating a cleaner and more selective virtual environment for kids. One of these organizations is SoftForYou, a filtering and monitoring software company, which offers programs that are designed to help parents control their young child's computer; by enabling their young child to use the computer and the Internet, whilst been shielded from its harmful and potentially dangerous effects. Their latest program is called 1stClicks. This program is extremely effective in enabling parents to control their young child's computer use. This parental control technology is suitable exactly for young children, because it blocks all sites and programs that aren’t pre-approved, rather than just filtering out the “bad” sites.
