Qustodio problems1/17/2024 ![]() In any event, I began using Qustodio when my son got an Android phone a few years back. ![]() Besides, it would be fun to catch up with you anyways as I've kind of kept to myself in the middle of NH lately. If we get that personal we can take this offline. (I do block known explicit (porn) or other violent web I'm always happy to talk. I could block all the bad apps I don't want my son using, but he will figure it out on some other device that I'm not managing and he would have NO guidance. I use to monitor our families overall technology use as opposed to managing it directly. ) Sometimes blocking things can create unnecessary resentment/sneakiness when it's a great opportunity to talk about why something is appropriate or not, and the how/why of it.They will learn that it's OK/Expected behavior to remotely spy on subordinates. If you're looking at their screens via a management app, why aren't you looking in person? Don't be a creep to your kids. You generally cannot tell if they are watching their class assigned video, or the latest YouTuber meme unless you're looking at it. Also, services/apps like YouTube cannot be easily classified as good or bad. Simply looking at a monitoring app that says your student was on YouTube does not indicate HOW they were using it. You (Parent) need to understand that balance. ) Technology can be both a tool and a distraction.) Limiting access to technology during inappropriate times is as easy as physically taking the device away.Electronics are not allowed in bedrooms/bathrooms unless specifically requested and allowed (Almost never happens) My children have to use their computers, tablets, phones in the common areas of our home. ) Monitoring children's technology/internet use works best when the parent is looking at and listening to what their students are, in person.That said, as an IT specialist working in Education, I've always given the following parental/technology advice even when parents can do whatever they like technologically. Are the parents in question looking for something specific, perhaps there are some solutions to some issues? I have no idea what apps, or sites you allow, block or monitor. It's also the only real way to know what they're up to so as to offer proper guidance. Parents NEED to physically spend time working with their kids and their technology. While I find that while classroom management and monitoring tools really do help manage a whole class of students they tend to hurt the process at home. (FYI, my favorite at home management/monitoring system, as a parent of a pre-teen and early teen, is Qustodio). As you've mentioned, any other management/monitoring system will require its own management profile and that's not going to work for you. I'll jump on to say first, my comment will likely NOT help solve your problem, at least from a technical standpoint.
