Here's what you need to do when setting up an iPad or iPhone for a child

Picture
It's that time of year again, where so many parents are having to put on their 'IT' hat and set up devices for the upcoming school year.

If the device that you are setting up for your child is an iPad or iPhone, there is a list of things that you need to consider when setting up these devices. 

We have put pen to paper (or fingers to the keyboard) and written up this list for you. Select the button below to view this checklist.

A warning to parents who will be sending their child to school in 2019 with a new laptop

Picture
Over the past month or so, I have had multiple discussions with clients seeking advice about devices that they must supply for their child for the 2019 school year.

The BYO policy applicable for many schools allows parents to choose to purchase either a Windows or Apple laptop for their child.

A warning if you are one of these parents. Before you hand over the new laptop to your child, consider that this laptop could open up a world of inappropriate content to your child if not set up correctly.

Here's how you can stop your child from changing their device password (and recording their fingerprint on your own)!

Picture
One of the frustrations I hear from parents all the time is that they wish they could stop their child from changing the passcode on the child's iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. 

Not only does it prevent the parent from doing any 'spot checks' of the child's usage of the device, but we regularly deal with situations where the child changes the passcode to keep Mum and Dad out, and then forgets the passcode! This means the device has to be completely wiped, which may result in the loss of photos, app data and more.

At a recent Keeping Kids Safe on the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch information session run for parents at a local school, one of the parents asked if parental controls can be set up on an Android device.

For those of you with such devices (or with kids using these devices), here are some articles that discuss how to set up parental controls on these devices.
