How to Customize Kids’ Web Content Access

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

At KIDO’Z, content is king.

But not just any content.

All KIDO’Z content is hand-picked by loving parents around the world in many different languages. This content is then screened by our moderation team before it is allowed to join the public domain.

Only the best and most kid-friendly kids’ content makes it through our moderation team to get the KIDO’Z seal of approval.

And so, KIDO’Z brings the top kids’ content to children globally in a safe, fun and easy-to-use environment, and filters content for each child based on age, gender and language.

As we know and respect that parents have differing beliefs and preferences, the KIDO’Z system allows parents to customize their child’s access to this content.

What this means is that as a parent, you can easily extend your control over your child’s access to KIDO’Z content through the Parental Control Account.

Here, you have two options:

  • To allow all KIDO’Z content and then manually block content that you do not want your kid to access, or
  • To block all KIDO’Z content and then manually approve content that you do allow your kid to access

Here is a quick tutorial showing how to control access to KIDO’Z content:

Have a great week!

How to Keep Kids Protected on the Internet

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

How would you like to ensure that your kids stay safe within the KIDO’Z environment?
To not have to worry about them finding their way out of this protected system and accessing your PC?

This is all possible to achieve and is easily set-up through the KIDO’Z Parental Control Account.

This security feature allows parents to block exit from the KIDO’Z environment with a parental password.

What this means is that kids will not be able to leave KIDO’Z on their own, and will remain safe in this child-friendly environment until you, as the parent, decide to exit the system.

You can enable this feature by following these 3 easy steps:

  1. Click on the Security Tab, accessed from the Parental Control Account home page
  2. Select Edit Start/Exit Settings
  3. Choose the option: Block quitting kids’ area with parent password

The password that you would then use to exit KIDO’Z is the same password that you use to log into your Parental Control Account.

Here is the video tutorial demonstrating how to password-protect exit from KIDO’Z:

All the best
