If you haven't tried it yet...

If you haven't yet tried out Kidzui, I urge you to give it a try. The basic child-friendly browser is free, and a paid subscription is available for interested parents. Let me tell you why I'm so impressed with Kidzui:

  • Everything your child accesses has been reviewed and approved by education professionals, and new sites are being added all the time. This takes a lot of stress off you to ensure that your child is safe online.
  • The information displayed to your child is filtered and selected based upon the age of your child, and his or her interests. This information changes as your child changes.
  • The Kidzui browser window is maximized upon login, so your child has no access to other windows while the browser is running. If you're like many other parents, and you haven't yet set up a separate limited account for your child, then this offers you some added protection.
  • You receive regular reports that keep you informed about what your child is doing online - what sites do they like, while topics interest them, and so much more. If your child is school-age, and has a report to do, you can keep up with the research he or she is doing.
  • Kidzui has been written about many times - all you need to do is use google or another search engine to read what people are saying about it. It's not a tool that parents need to worry about, and it opens up the world to your child. There is so much more out there beyond pbskids, nickelodeon, disney, and barbie.com.

If you haven't had the time to try it out, I urge you to make a little time one evening after the kids have gone to bed, go to the site (just click on the icon to the right), and get started. If you try it out for an hour or so, and don't like it, go ahead and uninstall it, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
