Norton Family is an essential tool designed to help parents manage and monitor their children's online activities effectively. This comprehensive platform offers a suite of features that promote safe, smart, and healthy internet usage, ensuring a balanced online and offline life for your kids.
Whether at home, in school, or on the go, Norton Family equips you with the tools to keep your children focused on what matters most. Here’s how it helps:
- Monitor the Sites and Content Your Child Views: Norton Family makes the internet a safer place for your kids by informing you about the websites they visit and allowing you to block harmful or inappropriate content. This feature ensures that your children can explore the web safely.
Set Limits on Your Child’s Internet Access: With Norton Family, you can schedule screen time limits to help your kids balance their online activities. This is particularly useful for focusing on schoolwork during remote learning or ensuring they get enough rest at bedtime.
Stay Informed About Your Child’s Physical Location: Utilize the geo-location features to track your child's location in real-time. Receive alerts when they arrive at or leave specific areas you’ve designated, providing peace of mind and an added layer of safety.
Here are some standout features of Norton Family that assist in protecting your child’s online experiences:
- Instant Lock: Help your kids take a much-needed break by locking their device remotely. This feature is perfect for refocusing their attention or ensuring they join family time, like dinner, without distractions. Even in lock mode, communication remains open between family members.
Web Supervision: Allow your children to explore the internet freely while maintaining control over their safety. Norton Family helps you block unsuitable websites and keeps you informed about the sites they visit.
Video Supervision: Keep tabs on the YouTube videos your kids watch on their PCs or mobile devices. You can view snippets of these videos to ensure the content is appropriate and initiate conversations if needed.
Mobile App Supervision: Gain insight into the apps your children download on their Android devices. You have the power to choose which apps they can use, ensuring they engage with safe and suitable applications.
Time Features:
- School Time: During remote learning, pausing internet access isn't feasible. Norton Family helps by managing content access to keep your child focused on educational material and relevant websites during school hours.
Location Features:
- Alert Me: Automatically receive updates on your child’s location. Set specific times and dates to get alerts, ensuring you’re always aware of their whereabouts.
