You should still do some blocking to make sure he learns how to circumvent them. Those are valuable skills to have later in life, I still profit from the lessons I learned circumventing high school internet restrictions.
- vishnugupta 5y agoThrough Norton's suite I had filtered out YouTube app from being installed. It took ~10 minutes for my 5 yo to figure out use it via Safari :-| Since then it's been education over enforcement as OPs have mentioned.
- r00fus 5y agoDoes the Norton suite not have website/URLbase filtering? Weak sauce.
- Damogran6 5y agoMy kids learned all about that in schools...by the teachers...so they could bypass the blocks to see youtube videos for class!
- fatnoah 5y agoI'm confident he already has those skills. When he was in fourth grade, my wife and I were called into a meeting with the (private) school Principal because my son had "hacked all of the tablets used for class so kids could play games on them." As it turns out, he merely figured out that flipping the Wi-Fi Off switch killed the network connection on the chrome-based tablets, which makes it easy to get to the chrome dino jumping game. I was disappointed that he disrupted class, but equally impressed by his resourcefulness.
