As a parent, it’s important to ensure that your child is safe while browsing the internet. With so much easily accessible content online, it can be challenging to monitor what your child is viewing. However, there are several ways to set up parental controls to filter out inappropriate content. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to put parental controls on Safari.
First, you’ll want to open Safari and quit out of your last session. Then, go to your Safari settings and sign in to your child’s account. From there, you’ll navigate to search settings. You’ll see an option to turn on safety search, which will filter out explicit content. Make sure to hit “lock SafeSearch” to verify your information and set strict filters.
After enabling safety search, you’ll notice a small bubble in the front right corner of your browser. This bubble indicates that your privacy settings are active, and your child’s searches are being filtered. However, keep in mind that this filter is not entirely foolproof. It’s essential to set up multiple safety nets to ensure that your child is safe.
For instance, you can set up parental controls on the device itself. On a Mac, navigate to System Preferences and select parental controls. You can also find more information on device settings and parental controls on letstalkteens.com/workshop.
