Hello, I have a question for all parents. How do you deal with inappropriate content on the internet? My kids started asking me if they could play computer games but I'm afraid of all bad content witch they could find on the internet. And I do not have time to control them all the time and watch what they are doing there.

Who ever is the administrator for your pc needs to sort this out.

Most antivirus systems will let you enter the age and sex of children and permit you to limit access to known sites. eg, for a 12 year old girl it will stop access to porn sites, violent games etc etc

You can also set time limits for how l;ong they can access the internet.

Go to settings, and establish the necessary filters. This covers age stats.

If you get administrator permission notifications, accept the choice to proceed. I do all the time.

I'd note that even with these filters up it isn't perfect protection. It will stop a lot but if someone sends an inappropriate image or comment in email or instant messages that's going to make its way through. Chat programs are another weakness of filters, and then there's the odd instance of normally kid friendly websites getting hacked or things like wiki sabotage. I'd personally wait until you felt like they were mature enough to make good decisions, and even then I'd still keep the filter.

And I do not have time to control them all the time and watch what they are doing there.

Hi, May I suggest the potential of serious problems is far more significant that just content being inappropriate?  I suggest that it is the actual development of hand eye coordination and physical motor skills that may  get affected in large numbers of today's children, because of the use of computing devices as toys for kids and as baby sitting aids by parents.

Parents are having serious issues,  behavior issues, with their kids. The kids are having serious trouble just learning to tie their own shoes. Specialists of varying ability and theories are working hard to help overcome the very disruptive behavior issues,  many do reach a conclusion that the use of computers and the playing of games on a flat screen regardless of the content is affecting adversely the development of children.

"Brain Balance" is one program center that does some pretty excellent work!!! and addresses the subject of "computers" or computing toys and games, and kids use of them.

Our family has had personal experience with the problems and with the program of correction and aid  to a child's need of help.

It is a widespread problem. I worked at a school that tried to handle it, public school stend to not have any programs to help and just end up putting all the troubled kids together in one school. It is  quite scary to see it hit home, but after much ard two years hard effort and a ton of money spent see the outstanding result. Praise God and praise God for parents with the resolve to not cave into the whims  of merchants and their own kid's desire to follow the crowd. The parade of the crowd is headed in the wrong direction..

p.s. -Might take  a look at the book Disconnected Kids.

I agree with everything said here,  put filters or even set rules for using the PC,  tell them that certain sites are not allowed

I agree with those who recommended putting filters on your computer for your kids. Also your television.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
