Comment on How would you safely and privately child-proof a PC?

Social guard rails over software.

My setup has basic protections to stop them stumbling into things they shouldn’t be looking at. It’s intended as a bumper, not a barrier. I know I won’t be able to make it impenetrable without also making it almost unusable. Even then, that doesn’t solve things, if they are around a friend’s etc.

Instead, I talk through things with them, in an age appropriate manner. If you can get a continuous conversation going then you don’t need to lock things down hard. It might get awkward and embarrassing for you, but it’s far more effective in the long run.

This might also be of interest to you. …ccc.de/…/emf2026-159-1-mum-can-i-play-roblox-nav…
