The online world is becoming every child's favorite playground. With more children accessing the Internet with different devices, they are learning and growing more each day. When used appropriately, the digital world can help be your child's portal to achieve great things.

While every parent wants their child to have access to the latest and best information, they also know that safety is paramount. Children may not understand the dangers of engaging in today's digital world and often access websites and links without a second thought.

It's why Norton LifeLock Benefit Plan includes parental control features so you can manage your kids' activities online – set screen time limits, block unsuitable sites, and monitor search terms and overall activity history*.

Additionally, Norton and National PTA teamed up to provide a free, interactive resource that helps families set healthy tech limits together: The Smart Talk. This complimentary tool is available to help set digital safety ground rules together.

The Benefits of Parental Control

The Parental Control feature (included in Hanover's LifeLock with Norton Benefit plan) helps parents teach their children safe, smart, and healthy online habits. This feature includes easy-to-use tools that allow parents to set screen time limits, block unsuitable sites, and monitor search terms and overall activity history.*
