As a parent I struggle with fears I never knew would exist. They all revolve around protecting my children.
It starts the second they are born. All of the sudden you are protecting them from germs and getting sick to protecting them from getting hurt while they are learning to walk.
The next thing you know you are telling them not to speak to strangers while walking to the bus.
I knew that I’d be protecting them from the dangers of the Internet at some point, I just wasn’t ready for it as quickly as it was coming.
When school started this year, numerous papers were sent home with logins for a helpful Spelling site, a must visit Math site, a highly recommended Reading site, and an app that we were to download to keep up with our children’s progress.
To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. It’s not that I didn’t care about their online safety. I just had no idea where to start.
I’m so glad I found Sophos Home to help us protect our kids and our family.
Sophos Home protects every Mac and PC in your home from malware, viruses, ransomware, and inappropriate websites. It uses the same award-winning technology that IT professionals trust to protect their businesses. Best of all, you can manage security settings for the whole family from any browser, & they offer it to families for FREE!
I went into their Tool Kit & was educated even more about how to filter unwanted content & how to setup your different devices. Between princess games & football games it’s hard to be everywhere at once.
I tried to watch every homework assignment being done, every game being played, & if you’re a parent you know, it’s impossible.
