About Parent Monitoring

GBCS Technology Services is often asked what monitoring tools are out there for parents.  Since the tools we use here in Grand Blanc aren't designed for parent monitoring, we are far from experts in this field.   Obviously the first line of defense should be involvement in your child's online world.  You have to get involved, step into their world and have "house rules" on their use of the Internet.  Most importantly the conversation about privacy is a must.  Protecting their identity, location, and integrity are extremely important.  We hope this part of the GBCS Cyber Safety site helps you with other options you can take to protect your child.  Wired.com states that keeping your child off the Internet would be like "keeping them away from electricity or indoor plumbing."  The online world is such a prevalent part of our society now and not teaching them how to use it in a safe manner would be a huge mistake.  Build trust with your child and help them to see create a safe digital footprint.
