- Verify that each user has their own account on the computer so you can tailor the parental controls to the user.
- Choose an administrator account and set a strong password.
- Create an age-appropriate user profile on the computer.
- Use existing parental control tools in the computer’s native operating system if available.
- Set up web browsing restrictions to prevent access to specific webpages or blocks of material.
- Create time limits by setting when the computer should become locked after a specific period of inactivity.
- Make sure to turn on the computer’s app and game restrictions.
- Check for and set up parental controls related to social media that you are comfortable with.
