with Norton Family
Games, social networks, videos, homework... the smartphone is part of your child's daily life. With its opportunities also come risks: inappropriate content, cyberbullying, or excessive screen use.
How can you guide them towards more autonomy while ensuring their online safety? The goal is not to control everything, but to establish a clear and reassuring framework based on dialogue and shared rules.
Parental control is an ally to support, not replace the relationship.
As Inge Vanhaverbeke from Child Focus reminds us:
"The ideal use is one of support, not strict control. The goal is always for your child to learn to make safe decisions on their own, with or without an application."
The internet offers many opportunities but can also expose your child to certain risks:
A parental control tool can help you anticipate and prevent some of these situations.
Setting up parental control can make your child anxious, as they may feel constantly watched. The goal isn’t surveillance but open communication. When clearly explained, it becomes a tool for digital education.
Talk openly about online risks: inappropriate content, cyberbullying, contact with strangers, etc. Explain that the goal is their safety, not to control them. When children understand the “why,” they’re more likely to accept the guidelines.
“Key principle: parental control never replaces the parent. It only works if it is based on open communication and mutual trust.” Inge Vanhaverbeke of Child Focus.
Involve your child in decision-making: screen time, schedules, and permitted content. Working together to establish rules helps foster their digital responsibility.
Parental control provide an overview of your child’s online activity and alert you to any sensitive situations so you can intervene if necessary.
Young children need a more structured environment, while teenagers need more freedom.
It’s up to you to decide when your child is ready to become more independent. Parental control evolve with your child, helping them gradually develop responsible smartphone habits.
