About Norton Family parental control

Keeping your kids safer online requires more than managing screen time. Norton Family helps you supervise and manage your kids’ online activities.

• It helps block unsuitable sites while your kids are surfing the Internet
• Let’s you see what websites they’re visiting
• Let’s you see what they’re searching for
• Let’s you see what apps they’re downloading and more.

And while Norton Family lets you set online time limits, it also helps you start open and ongoing conversations about how to build safe and smart online habits. As a parent, it’s important to have insight into what your kids are doing. Our helpful tools allow you to monitor kids’ online activities at a glance or be notified by email alerts, so you know when it’s time to talk.

“Norton Family offers an impressive range of parental control and monitoring features for parents of today's hyper-connected kids.” Neil J. Rubenking
