Modern kids have never known a time when they couldn’t connect to the entire world via the internet. In fact, they probably spend more time online than anyone else—certainly more than their parents. If you are a parent, this presents a problem, as there are explicit, disturbing, and illegal websites and apps that you don’t want your kids to encounter. Desktop monitoring services can help you manage the ever-increasing number of devices that your kids use.
In today’s era, it is not only parents’ responsibility but their obligation to monitor their kids’ desktop presence. Before you start imposing limits and restrictions though, take some time to learn how your connected kid uses technology. No parent wants to see their children spend countless hours in front of the computer.
We all aim for that ideal daily schedule for our kids and of course, we want them to spend the right amount of time resting, indulging, playing with friends, etc. The problem is that we, as parents, are not always near them, we work while they are with their friends at school. Even young children know how to adjust their schedule according to their preferences (we also did that when we were kids). And as soon as kids are old enough to discover the computer/phone, it just sucks them in as there is always something to do, watch, chat or play.
Especially in times like these, it is an obligation for kids to stay on desktops because of the pandemic and distant learning culture. Monitoring what your child is doing online is one of the best ways for parents nowadays to safeguard their children and to be on top of what their kids are doing, who are they playing with etc.
The internet is highly addictive by itself. Even an innocent online activity can be harmful if it has no limit. Too much time spent in front of the computer is bad for your health and even worse for a growing child. They need fresh air, sports, and healthy forms of socializing. To keep a hold on all these activities or to avoid kids from getting in the wrong direction, desktop monitoring software is a reliable solution. A good desktop monitoring solution has features like activity tracking, regularly timed screenshots, in–depth logs of apps used, or screens opened. These are the basic features that can be very beneficial for parents in tracking their kids.
The activity tracking feature tracks each and every activity on the desktop screen and takes screenshots of the windows open. It also tracks the time period for which the screen was opened or a particular window was used in the in-depth logs feature. Further, it also has features like reports and graphs for easy analysis of all the monitored data. The reports can directly be sent to parents’ email or can be downloaded from anywhere. Parents can also analyze reports of monitored data on their mobile phones for ease of convenience.
