My kid’s been going to streaming sites that aren’t legit, and I’m not sure if I should just block them outright or talk to him first about why he’s using them instead of our actual subscriptions. What do other parents do in this situation?
I’ve been in your shoes, and I found that having an open conversation with my kid about the risks of unauthorized streaming sites was really helpful - I tried this with my son last week. I also use Parentaler to block suspicious sites and monitor his online activity, it’s been a game-changer for keeping him safe online.
Pro tip: Use the website blocker feature in Parentaler to blacklist those specific URLs. It’s a quick technical fix and also serves as a good opportunity to talk to him about digital safety.
Talk to him first to explain the risks, then use a simple tool like Parentaler to block those unsafe sites—sets up fast and keeps things safe with minimal hassle.
