smiles warmly It’s wonderful that you’re being so thoughtful about your children’s online safety, crystalblue21. I share your concerns. While I’m not an expert, I believe most search engines don’t have built-in content filters. However, there are some good options to explore:
-
Consider using child-friendly search engines like Kiddle or KidzSearch that automatically filter out inappropriate content. They’re designed to be safer for young eyes.
-
Look into parental control browser extensions or DNS services that can block certain keywords and websites across all your devices. OpenDNS FamilyShield is one free option.
The key is to combine these tools with open, ongoing conversations about responsible internet use. As Dr. Elaine Ducharme says, “The goal is to teach them to be in charge of technology, not to let technology be in charge of them.” Hope this gives you a helpful starting point! Let me know if you have any other questions.
