Prevent Their Devices from Overheating

Just because smartphones today are capable of performing a wide variety of tasks that used to be reserved for computers, doesn’t mean that these tasks can all be performed at once. If your parents have a lot of applications running at the same time, this can cause their devices to overheat. In order to return their devices to an optimal temperature, they’ll need to utilize DFNDR’s CPU Cooler. This feature is easy to use and works instantly. The CPU Cooler will cool their devices by closing background applications, all at the touch of a button. Click here to launch the CPU Cooler:

Optimize Their Smartphones

Emphasize the importance of closing applications that aren’t being used in order to prevent their devices from overheating. Many of their apps are probably connected to the Internet, which means that they’re constantly updating throughout the day. Do they really need their apps to be behaving this way? Probably not. Overloading a phone with tasks to perform can lead to overheating, which can damage the batteries. This will then cause their smartphone to last for a shorter length of time.

Use DFNDR’s Memory Booster feature to manage apps that are running in the background of their phones. This feature will identify and close these apps in order to free up memory and speed up their devices. When activated, their phones will no longer experience lagging or crashing.

In order to prevent your kids from accidentally installing malware on your shared device, or visiting a malicious website, utilize DFNDR’s Anti-Hacking feature. This feature is a safe-browsing feature that will block malicious websites when activated.

This is just the first step, however, in making the Internet safer for your child. In order to make the Web more kid-friendly, you may also want to add parental control settings on your child’s phone. The newer Android operating systems allow you to have more control over a smartphone, but you can also get an app to manage your child’s online browsing.

How to Add Parental Controls on Your Child’s Android

First, go to the Android’s settings. Select “users,” followed by, “add user or profile.” Then, instead of creating a normal profile, create a “restricted” profile. You’ll need to set up a lock screen for the device (if there isn’t one) and name the profile. You can then choose from a list of apps installed on the device, and pick which ones you don’t want your child to access. You could block them from downloading apps from the Google Play store, for example.

Use an App to Add Parental Controls

There are a lot of apps available for setting up parental controls on your phone (for your child) or your child’s phone. Most of these apps are free to download but do not offer free services, however. Many of them require a monthly or yearly subscription fee. These services block children from inappropriate Web content, such as pornography or violence, usually through a customized browser. Many of them also allow you to view your child’s browsing behavior.

Two of the most popular parental controls apps and services include Net Nanny and Norton Family Parental Control. Both offer a variety of services and vary in price — it all depends on your needs.

1. Net Nanny Social

Net Nanny Social gives you the control to monitor what your children are doing on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms. Using your online dashboard, you get flags of anything that looks like risky behavior online, as well as updates about your child’s friends and posted photos. The app also tracks what your child is doing on social networks across all of their devices.

2. KuuKla Parental Control

KuuKla lets you set time restrictions for individual apps on your child’s smartphone. Parents set weekly time limits that kids can spend on each app, and when kids reach their time limits, the app is automatically restricted.

3. Screen Time Parental Control App

Like KuuKla, Screen Time lets you manage the amount of time your kids spend online. Specifically, it lets you create restrictions for particular apps while your kids are in school or should be sleeping. It also lets you create checklists for what kids need to complete — homework, chores — and then reward them with extra screen time when they’ve finished these obligations.

4. Kids Place

Kids Place stops your kids from downloading any new apps without your approval. Specifically, the home screen will only display the apps that you’ve approved for your kids’ use. This app is particularly useful if you let your kids play on your phone because you can enable and disable the Kids Place app. When it’s running, your kids can’t call or text any of your contacts.

1. Ant Smasher

This game is exactly what it sounds like. The point is to try to smash as many ants with your finger on the screen as possible, while not smashing any bees.

It essentially allows your toddler to poke at the phone for an extended period of time.

2. Fisher-Price

Fisher-Price is responsible for all kinds of non-mobile kids entertainment games and products and it has now expanded its services to include those available on technology. The Fisher-Price app offers a variety of baby games including hide-and-seek games, nursery rhyme games, and counting games.

3. Kids Animal Piano

This game combines the mechanics of a piano with the tried and true favorite for all youngsters: making animal noises. Kids Animal Piano allows your babies and toddlers to push different keys and hear a satisfying variety of animals sounds. This allows your youngster to create a musical composition that could realistically be heard in a barnyard.

4. Kids Doodle

Kids Doodle is a drawing app that specializes in bright colors and is easy to use; perfect for young kids. There are about two dozen brush options with different colors and thicknesses and every image can be saved to the device so you can preserve your young one’s masterpieces for all of eternity. The coolest part is a section called “film mode” that allows you to replay all of the different images in a video format.

5. My Talking Angela

Part of the “My Talking” series, these apps feature an animal character that children can talk to, and the character talks back. This app is simple but also involves adorable animal figures and smaller, mini games on the side that teach skills like tooth brushing.

6. Baby Scratch

This is literally a DJ app for toddlers. Kids can touch records that play children’s songs like “Mary Had A Little Lamb” and other classics, causing them to create remixes. There is an option to record your own voice or music which can then be altered as well. This app requires few motor skills and a short attention span.
