Remember, it\u2019s all about limiting what your child has access to, and monitoring their activities on the Mac.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Limit Website Access<\/h2>\n<p>On the Net, you never know what your child might be seeing. You can choose to allow unrestricted access (definitely not recommended), limit access to certain sites, or allow access to only the authorized few.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mac-parental-control-tips\/parental-web.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"415\" alt=\"Web\"><\/figure>\n<p>If you want to limit access to selected sites, use the <strong>Customize<\/strong> button. It lets you choose which websites that have won your approval, or which websites that are definitely not allowed for your children.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mac-parental-control-tips\/parental-web-custome.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"434\" alt=\"Custom\"><\/figure>\n<h2>2. Limit Applications<\/h2>\n<p>If you have important applications on your Mac like Dropbox or Cloud where you store your valuable files, then remember to check <strong>Limit Applications <\/strong>before your child accidentally erases your files.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mac-parental-control-tips\/parental-apps.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"415\" alt=\"Apps\"><\/figure>\n<p>You can specifically customize which application your child will be allowed to open and use.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Limit iChat & Mail<\/h2>\n<p>You can also limit the people your child can communicate with via the Mac. You can limit Mail or limit iChat to people you know in person or those you don\u2019t mind letting your child chat or email with.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mac-parental-control-tips\/parental-people.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"418\" alt=\"People\"><\/figure>\n<p>Tip: You can set Mac to alert you via email whenever your child attempts to email somebody who isn\u2019t in the list of allowed contacts.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Limit Time<\/h2>\n<p>With \u2018Time Limits\u2019 you can set how long your children can use your computer (because if you are not going to stop them, who else is?), and also when they can use it. Customize the time limits for weekday and weekend so your child can\u2019t use the Mac too much that they neglect their school work.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mac-parental-control-tips\/parental-time.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"415\" alt=\"Time limit\"><\/figure>\n<p>You can even set curfews; block access to the Mac after late hours.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Keep logs<\/h2>\n<p>We can\u2019t always be around to keep tabs, but when your children uses their account to access your computer, you can always check the activities they carried out while using it. Just click on the <strong>Logs<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mac-parental-control-tips\/parental-apps-logs.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"490\" alt=\"Logs\"><\/figure>\n<p>The log collection will display details of activities, including websites visited, applications used and even with whom they had chatted with.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mac-parental-control-tips\/parental-apps-logs-2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"357\" alt=\"Logs\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Parental Controls are essential to help you control, limit and ensure your children\u2019s safe browsing activities while using your Mac. Not only will your files be secure, your children will also be protected from strangers and unwanted sites. The time limitation is also good to inculcate good surfing habits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/parental-control-apps-windows\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 10 Best Parental Control Tools for Windows\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10 Best Parental Control Tools for Windows<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/parental-control-apps-windows.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-59329 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/parental-control-apps-windows.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">10 Best Parental Control Tools for Windows<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tParental control apps allow concerned parents to monitor their kids; keep track of what they do, and how...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever felt worried leaving the Mac with your children?
