Because your children's
online learning will need them to continually access stuff on the internet, it's critical to keep an eye on their gadgets, regulate search results, limit screen time, and protect their online reputation. The first line of defence against online disasters is to educate your children about parental settings and to encourage appropriate digital behaviour.
Getting to the Parental Control Options
It's time to set up and apply parental controls on your Windows 10 devices now that your child's Microsoft account has been authorised and you've been identified as their responsible adult.
Return to your Accounts menu under Settings to get started. You'll find your child's account under Family & Other People, as well as a new option to Manage Family Settings Online.
To open the Microsoft Family parental control page in your web browser, click Manage Family Settings Online. You can monitor each child's activities and set parental control limitations using the menu options on the right. Let's start with the three most crucial areas of control: web browsing, apps, games, and media, and screen time.
Web Content that is Mature or Inappropriate is Blocked
Windows will limit search results and filter websites that are known to contain potentially unsuitable information by default. Web filtering approaches, on the other hand, have a few flaws. A website that hasn't been added to their "adult content" blacklist, as well as user-generated content on otherwise "safe" sites, will still be accessible to your youngster.
Appropriate Application, Game, and Media Selection
By default, no youngster is allowed to download adult games or movies using their Microsoft account. You may fine-tune which content is available through the Windows and Xbox stores by setting an age range for your child's account using Windows 10 parental controls.
Limiting and Scheduling Screen Time
Finally, even proper computer use should be constrained by healthy parameters. You may set appropriate access schedules and limit overall use for each day of the week with Windows 10 parental controls. There are two options for each day: a total time limit and an access schedule.
● Time limitations can be specified in half-hour increments from zero to twelve hours. By default, there is no time limit on overall access.
● The default access hours are 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. You can set one or more custom access schedules per day by clicking on the blue bar.
Make sure you share this resource with other parents helping their child learn from home.
