According to statistics, the largest group of viewers of internet porn are?children between ages 10 and 17. And while the thought of our children viewing those images is scary, online predators are another danger. The first thing parents must do is educate their kids about the potential dangers of technology. Children should also be taught to tell if they have a bad experience and share about the encounter.
Children are naturally curious and may not always know when an online situation is unsafe for them. Fortunately, there is a parental control app,?eKAVACH that?can help monitor your child’s online activity.
KAVACH is an Indian word which means shield. There are 2 apps for this service ? a parent app to be loaded on the parent’s mobile phone and a child app to be loaded on the child’s smart device.
eKAVACH digital parenting app is designed to help parents impart kids, secure online habits and enable safe exploration. This simple and easy to use app allows parents to keep track of kids? Android activity at-a-glance, so the kids are safe and you as guardians can help them avoid inappropriate activities on the web , incongruous apps and other online threats prevailing. Because if you know where your kids spend most of their time online, it will give you a better understanding into their interests and behavior.
It also lets you easily stay in the loop which apps your kids have downloaded and lets you block and unblock them even when you are on the go.
On the other hand it does not have the ability?to keep track of your kids SMS text conversations which I believe is a feature which should be added.
But the good news is as a part of parenting,?eKAVACH allows you to know the trends and emerging habits of your children in a form of graphical representation on a daily and weekly basis.
