Default Child Web Monitoring Tools

Our daughter will soon be getting to an age where she will be able to use the computer and it is definitely something that I want to encourage, within reason of course.

We will implement the standard things like having the PC in a main room rather than a bedroom and limiting the amount of time however does anyone have any other tips for keeping children safe online and even a recommendation of software that could help.

Thanks in advance.

Craig

Thanks rudeboy, the trouble with a lot of these peices of software is that they play on fears that are probably not based on fact and I don't like lowering myself to that level!

And look at this quote from one of them "No matter if you're looking to record and monitor internet activity, record instant message / IMs (chats), block porn / adult content or other unsuitable web sites, or just keep an eye on a loved one, the software reviewed and rated on this site can help." If you need to 'keep an eye on a loved one' I think the relationship is pretty stuffed already!

Has anyone used any of these pieces of software, I want to be as open and free as possible with my childs freedom but with a safety net if that's not a contridiction in itself!

What a clean and clear site without the scaremongering of some of the others. I'm bookmarking that one for a closer look later. Thanks Tuli.
