Tip 1: How to restrict your child’s access to the Internet
Instructions
Install the NetPolice program on your computer. It exists in paid and free versions. There is also a version for the Linux operating system. Select in the program settings the resources on what topic you want to kid viewing is prohibited.
To avoid installing any software at all, use the same NetPolice service: install the primary DNS server with the IP address 81.176.72.82, and the secondary one with the address 81.176.72.83. This setup can be done on any OS. Requests to sites in the “Pornography” category will be filtered.
The disadvantage of programs installed directly on the computer, as well as reconfiguring DNS, is the possibility of bypassing these measures, say, when booting from a Live CD (children are resourceful, and it costs nothing for them to reset the BIOS password). It is much better to make sure that the filtering of page content is carried out by the provider. In this case, no matter how your child reconfigures the equipment, get access he will not be able to access dangerous sites. To obtain information about the availability of such a service, contact the support service of your provider or cellular operator. In the second case, you can limit access to dangerous sites and from a mobile phone.
Some providers implement this service in a slightly different way. Filtering is carried out not by the content of the pages, but by . The child will be able to receive access only at certain hours, and all that remains for you is to stay next to him during these hours and monitor exactly what resources he is viewing.
Please note, however, that even the Internet cannot be used as a “nanny”, just like the TV. Communicate with him more, and when he uses Internet, the sites themselves are interesting to him on the topics that interest him. Get him interested yourself, including using the Internet, say, fine arts, technical creativity.

Learn to restrain. An adult is not one who does everything he wants, but one who does what is necessary. There is no need to create for yourself someone who splashes out his emotions when something doesn’t go the way he wanted. Much more attractive in the eyes of parents is the ability to restrain oneself. Therefore, there is no need to whine or act like a capricious person. Let the kids sulk and slam doors. Otherwise, the desired freedom cannot be achieved. On the contrary, these may already be forgotten restrictions.
Communicate with your parents in an adult manner. Whenever you communicate with parents, reassure them of your understanding. Instead of a dissatisfied “I’m so tired of your control!”, It’s better to say: “I understand your concerns, because you want to raise me to be worthy.” Or you can offer your own adult compromise solution to the situation. Sometimes it helps to ask directly and respectfully, “I want to be given more freedom. What should I do for this?
Be proactive. It is important to reassure your parents that they can already rely on you. You can offer yourself as a cook or an apartment repairman. Prove that you know how to handle them competently and no longer waste them on lollipops. If you already work part-time during the holidays, offer to contribute your share of utility bills.
Follow parental requirements. Adults know the value of hygiene and... There is no need to look for loopholes in the “law” on brushing your teeth and washing your hands frequently. Be honest even in small things. If your parents notice that you are only pretending to comply with their demands, then they will pretend that they have withdrawn their control over you.
note
There is no need to beg and beg for freedom. Do not under any circumstances compare the guardianship of your parents with the guardianship of strangers. Remember, envy is a sign of childhood.
Helpful advice

The Internet is a good tool for learning, as it contains a huge arsenal of useful information and also provides the opportunity to communicate with friends. But in addition to useful information on the Internet, there are sites that children are not advised to visit. In addition, a long “walk” on the sites distracts the child from doing school homework. Caring parents must monitor their child’s time on the Internet and limit him from unnecessary information.
