Child monitoring

Continuing with my previous thread, another thing I worry about is when the kids use the internet. There is really no way to control the internet, and the kids these days are so technologically savvy, they could probably get around any parental controls we would set up on the computer. For example, our daughter has been playing computer games since the age of two, so by the time she is a teenager she will have surpassed my computer knowledge for sure.

There is the option of computer monitoring that doesn't prevent children from going to restricted sites, but gives you reports on all the sites visited, the passwords used, and even copies of emails sent to and from your computer. I would think that if your child knew this software was in place, they would be very careful about the sites they visit and their online behavior. This software is a great choice for parents who want to steer their children in the right direction on the internet.
