My 6 year old daughter has started to take notice of her mom and dad working on their laptops, which leads her to wanting to learn more about computers. She likes to get online, and lately she has become a bit more adventurous on the computer. That concerns me a bit. Therefore, I like to use Littleye.

Littleye is a software download that allows my daughter to visit only safe sites which are on a trusted list that educators and parents have approved. I can search their list for websites as well as create my own list of approved websites. Littleye also allows me limit her online time. The settings will lock her out after she has reached her time limit. Only I have access to give her more time.

Littleye is very easy to set up. There are several videos on the website which help you along the process. When your littleye download is complete, a small icon will appear on the upper right corner of your browser. You can turn littleye on or off by clicking on the icon and entering your parent user name and password. By the way, don’t let your kids know your password! Each child can have his/her own user name and password, so that you can monitor each child’s activity. The coolest thing is that soon, littleye will be available as an iPhone app. This will be a great way to check your child’s activity even when you are not by your computer! I really believe Littleye is great family friendly software that is worth the small expense of keeping your kids safe while they are online.

AND GUESS WHAT! Littleye is offering a FREE lifetime subscription until the end of August 2009. Click here for more details! COOL HUH?

You can learn more about Littleye by checking out the How To Demos on their website, following them on twitter, and reading their blog.
