and monitoring the sites they can and cannot visit
Have four kids: who tf is even letting their kids on the internet in [current year]?
My kids don't even get to click on a youtube recommendation without my express approval, and that's already the limit of their access to the internet, Youtube videos I explicitly found for them to watch. (Documentaries, kids gospel songs, the occasional classic cartoon.)
I realise not everyone is a programmer and can write programs specifically for their kids, but hell, if I was a tiny bit lazier, I could find plenty of non internet shit for my kids to do. Ten years ago I might understand letting the kids access specific sites, and 15-20 years ago specific internet accessible games, but now? FFS, NO.
