Parental control tool for child web surfing

bishanman:
full agreed with ivanlew. That why i think we should attend the cyberwellness training.. think they have it in school for children but parents we need some training ourselves.
There's a thread for this here : http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?p=59000#59000
Maybe if we go in groups there is a discount ? Perhaps some of us can contact the organiser for this ? -
Anyway in the UK, many schools conduct cyber wellness course for free for parents and it is really useful as they teach practical lessons.
Maybe singapore should do the same. -
In singapore, they do conduct cyber wellness workshops in school as my son had attended one during a school assembly. However, workshops for parents are few unless the initiation is pretty strong in the school and the psg (parent support groups) made a point to organise one.
i have called the organisers for the cyber wellness conference and was informed that there is a discount if there is a registeration for more than 10 people.
If anyone is keen, please PM me as I will be attending with a friend and hope to rope in others for the discount as well. -
Hi All,
Any advise how to monitor & control internet usage for kids? Able to install some filter program to check which website they had went to? The most worried is that they go online chat with strangers & all informations being reveal out.
Experienced parents do share your comments in here. -
check out symantic software. They have quite a pretty good software that allow you to regulate access (duration; when; where) and if your child wants to “emergency” by-pass (duration & when) still can but need to key in reason which you will be able to review later.

AC, wouldn't you allow your DS to visit here. We have lots of nice people around and some of the members are students as well. Maybe he can pick up some kiasu syndrome :lol:

Let me be the BAD guy ...
Did you block yahoo image & video search ?
- try this, go to http://www.yahoo.com.sg & search for 'sexy' and click on \"image\" icon above the bar where you enter the search text. -
Exactly. Yahoo is a search engine, you can have access to many many unsuitable things through Yahoo. You should also set the filter on for the search engine at ‘safe’.
