With the Black Friday and Christmas sales looming right around the corner, online monitoring company Bark Technologies has unveiled a new set of products to help ease parents' minds as they give digital devices to their children.
This season, among the most inviting gift ideas is technology: from smartphones to computers and video game consoles. With the endless possibility of connecting kids online, the need for safety measures can never be stressed enough. The upcoming products are the latest entries in Bark's comprehensive suite of family-friendly safety solutions that protect more than five million children at home and in 2,500 schools.
Bark Home
Marking the tech company's first foray into actual hardware, the "Bark Home" is a plug-and-play device that allows parents to manage all devices that connect to your local network. Just connect the hardware to your family's Wi-Fi router, and you can now monitor devices through the Bark app, which is available for both iOS and Android devices.
Keep your children safe - whether they are using their smartphones, watching on smart TVs, or playing on the latest gaming consoles - by managing screen time and filtering content.
Bark Home requires a Bark subscription, with a 12-month subscription included when you get the hardware on Amazon. For first-time users, Bark Tech has your back with its comprehensive list of supported devices and online platforms that it can monitor. It also provides a list of compatible router brands and models, ensuring you get what you pay for.
Parenting in a Tech World
For a holistic parenting strategy in the Information Age, check out "Parenting in a Tech World." The Amazon #1 Bestselling book provides parents with the support and the necessary know-how to keep up with their kids in a world increasingly dominated by technological connections. Up until now, there has never been a comprehensive guide to parenting in the middle of the Internet and social media.
"Parenting in a Tech World" is written by Titania Jordan, Bark's chief parent officer, and Matt McKee, who also wrote the hit self-help book "Parent Chat: The Technology Talk for Every Family."
The book answers the most common questions of parents trying to raise children in today's world. Asking when a child is actually ready for his or her own smartphone, what apps are safe or dangerous, or asking how to spot red flags in my child's social media account are essential issues answered in the book.
While technology has allowed people to video call friends and relatives from anywhere in the world, especially in the middle of the global coronavirus pandemic, it has also given rise to several unprecedented risks - and kids are at most risk. This new book from Bark Technologies will help parents get to a place of security and find the resources in making informed decisions in the future.
