Keeping kids safe online isn’t always easy for parents — especially for the parent who hasn’t exactly been riding the crest of the tech wave in recent years. Parental safety controls are a great first step to keeping children safe online. You don’t need to be a computer guru to set parental controls using the Microsoft Family Safety features of Windows 8.. After you’ve set up standard user accounts for the children (as discussed in Chapter 3), the rest is fairly easy. In this chapter, you see just how easy it is to set up controls using the Windows 8 Family Safety tool and how to view reports and options online.
