![]() ![]() Messengers have invaded our lives to such an extent that it is often easier to use them to contact your kid than to call, for a variety of reasons. The application has a function that allows you to block access to all applications except the phone – which is handy, but, as it turned out, not sufficient. So I didn’t call.” To many users of Kaspersky Safe Kids, such excuses may sound familiar. You blocked all the apps yourself, and told me not to call ’cause you had important meetings. “Mom, I was at Tony’s house! Yes, till 10 p.m. How to keep access to your favorite applications The feature is currently available only in Windows, but will soon appear also in Kaspersky Safe Kids apps for Android and iOS. If you turn it on, all sites, except those you’ve added to the allowlist, are blocked, thus preventing children from viewing them. So, say, Wikipedia,, and other potentially useful tools can go in this list, and children’s access to all other sites is safely blocked. We have implemented the Block all websites feature, which (as the name suggests) blocks access to all sites except those that parents manually add to the list of exclusions. So, crafty kids have always been able to find what they wanted on some obscure sites that we had not yet managed to add to our lists. But classifying all websites on the Internet is fundamentally impossible - they appear faster than we can squeeze them into categories. It is quite typical for parents not to want their youngsters to peruse adult content, read forums about weapons, or obtain information about certain other topics. Kaspersky Safe Kids has always had an option to restrict access to websites with particular types of content. Never fear: We’ve updated Kaspersky Safe Kids to tackle three typical problems that parents of overly savvy kids might face. If you see that your child has bypassed your parental controls, your initial reaction may well be overwhelming pride - what a brain! But it’s clearly a problem, and the solution isn’t immediately obvious. But in practice, children quickly learn to bypass such restrictions or even use them for their own purposes. In theory, these programs restrict access to apps and websites that, according to parents, are not appropriate for kids’ consumption. To stop inherently curious kids from venturing off the trail online, we have parental control applications, such as Kaspersky Safe Kids. Today’s fifth graders know very well what their parents are hiding from them, how to open locked doors, and where to find forbidden fruit online. ![]() But children seem to get too smart too quick these days, and they can end up giving their parents the runaround in the most innocent yet cunning ways. Our kids should surpass us in every way: talent, looks, happiness, intelligence.
