Jaelithe,

Thanks for bringing that in about Vista. I’ve not had any good direct experience with it and the parental controls. It sounds like they’ve really made strides.

Your approach, being proactive and involved, is basically the theme of the third in the series.

As for activities at that age, I’m totally there. My youngest has had computer access all his life, and we had him using the computer to play games, learning activities and get online from the earliest years.

I have been pleasantly surprised at how easy Windows Vista makes it to control my four-year-old’s access to websites and programs. I have given him his own user account on our Vista desktop, and I’ve used the parental control settings to whitelist the sites I allow him to visit. I also use the bookmark toolbar feature in Firefox to make it easier for him to reach the sites he uses most often. (If anyone is wondering what a four-year-old does on the internet, mine plays phonics and math games, solves puzzles, and watches Sesame Street videos.)

You are both welcome. Yes. Kid friendly browsers are coming into their own.

Great article! I wasn’t even aware of the kid-friendly browsers. I’ll be sure to pass the info on!

Great article, Todd! Thanks for sharing. Although mine are mostly grown now, I’m sure this is very valuable information for parents of younger children.
