Device Monitoring and Support for Parents

Ben Gorman —

An introduction to the Qustodio App for managing your child's device.

Have you ever checked out our Online Safety Hub? Information is available on lots of topics to support your child. Check out: https://sjr.onlinesafetyhub.nz/


DEVICE MONITORING - Introducing the Qustodio App

Qustodio Parental Control Qustodio

I highly recommend all parents make use of this app. To access the app visit: https://sjr.onlinesafetyhub.nz/ and click on "Parent App" from the top menu.

Instructions are then provided on what you need to do to create your account and install the necessary software onto your child's devices. Qustodio can work on BYOD devices as well as Cellphones. It will filter web content and even enables you to block particular websites you don't want your child to access. You can set daily time limits, my favourite, you can lock children out at certain hours of the day! I recommend locking them out at least 30 minutes before bedtime, so they can have a break from the blue light prior to them sleeping.
