Description

Norton Family provides tools that teach safe, smart, and healthy online habits. It also provides insights that help you foster a healthy online/offline balance for your children and their devices.

At home, attending school, or on the go, Norton Family helps keep children focused on what’s most important.

Norton Family empowers parents to keep track of their child’s online behavior.

• Monitor the sites and content your child views
Make the Web safer for your kids to explore — by keeping you informed of which sites your kids are visiting, and letting you block potentially harmful and inappropriate sites.‡

Norton Family also provides insights into the search terms and videos (3) that interest your kids and flags unsafe behavior so you can discuss online safety, as a family.‡

• Set limits on your child’s internet access
Help your kids balance time spent online by scheduling screen time limits for their device usage.‡ This can helps you focus your child on schoolwork and avoid online distractions while remote learning or at bedtime.‡

• Stay informed about your child’s physical location
Use geo-location features in the app to track your child’s location (4). Plus, receive alerts if you’re your child arrives in or goes beyond areas of interest established by you, using geo-location tools.

• Access weekly/monthly reports
Get detailed reports on what your kids are doing online, right in your Inbox or on the Parent Portal.‡ You can use these reports to foster dialog with your child about online safety.

Here are some of the Norton Family features parents can use to help protect their child’s online activities.

• School Time
Remote learning requires the internet, so pausing the internet on your child’s device is not an option. Manage content access to relevant categories and websites to help your child maintain focus while school’s in session.

This helps you establish approved boundaries for your child’s physical locations. When turned on, this feature will alert you when your child arrives in or goes beyond the permissible area or location established by you.1,2.

• Web Supervision
Let your kids explore the Web freely, with tools that help you block unsuitable websites while keeping you in the know about which sites they’re visiting.

• Search Supervision
See the words, terms, and phrases your kids are searching for to gain insights into their interests and help protect them from inappropriate content.

It works

You need this app for school laptops of high school teens. I did trust my kids. But they wanted to chat online in class. They wanted to download games in class.
It lets you block installed apps and block websites and categories of websites. It lets you monitor screen time and set curfews. It lets you see what words they use to search. Ideally as your kids get older you can lessen the controls but for early teens its a must. Over time you move to warning instead of blocking.
Ideally, you should not have your child be an admin user of the laptop you monitor.

Great for monitoring family screen usage.

It works well for laptops but not apple - ipad i deleted the link to this device because it caused too many issues. I found apple settings with family sharing link was enough to give a similar protection and viewing allowance.
But otherwise great program.

Creates more problems than it solves - buy something else

Since buying Family, my son’s Lenovo laptop won’t stay in sleep mode and therefore all his allocated time is used up every night, or while at school. The App won’t allow me to just give in and allow 24 hours of usage as a workaround. No solutions provided by Norton online.
Also, the App is very slow to use, not intuitive and constantly requires logging in, all the while the kids it’s supposed to be managing are furious and yelling at me, due to Norton’s failings.
It’s created more problems than it has solved. I wish I could get a refund and move on to a better product.
Don’t waste your hard earned money to buy a headache.
