Application Description
Norton Family is an essential tool for parents aiming to manage the time their children spend online effectively. It offers a suite of features designed to promote safe, smart, and healthy online habits, ensuring a balanced digital and real-life experience for your kids, whether they're at home, in school, or on the move.
With Norton Family, you can closely monitor the websites and content your child is accessing. This feature makes the internet a safer place for your kids to explore by informing you about their online activities and allowing you to block inappropriate or harmful content.‡
You can also set specific limits on your child's internet access, helping them maintain a healthy balance between online and offline activities. By scheduling screen time limits, you can ensure your child focuses on schoolwork and avoids distractions, especially crucial during remote learning sessions or at bedtime.‡
Additionally, Norton Family includes a feature to stay informed about your child's physical location through geo-location tracking. You'll receive alerts when your child enters or leaves designated areas, providing you with peace of mind about their whereabouts. (4)
