Hi.
I know there is no better thing than parental supervision, but a friend of mine asked me if I knew of any child safety (can't think of a better term) programs for kindle fire to keep kids from getting into inappropriate websites. Does anyone have any recommendations? The children are early teens and tweens. They are looking for something for older kids than the programs that you go into but then only have little kid programs. Any recommendations would be great.
Thanks.
Happy new year.

I have set up parental controls on my neice's kindle. I found this website which gives step by step instructions on how to do that. If you set up those controls it will ask for a password whenever the child tries to access something that the parents have blocked. That way the parents have control over what the child puts on their kindle and can look at.

You can also set up maximum times if you wish for use of apps etc. through kindle freetime so for example, you can set that the child can only play games for 1 hour per day if that is a rule you have.
Thanks for this!
