net-MaMMa does not replace parents.

net-MaMMa is helpful because it gives parents the technological power they need to be able to follow their children’s steps.

Parents have the responsibility to make use of net-MaMMa in a way that they turn their children’s exposure to virtual world into a controlled but not limitative experience.

To start with:

For parents who start now to wonder how to educate the their children computer habits without blocking their learning needs, the first step should be to monitor their activities and get the big picture on their behavior.

Begin by using net-MaMMa stealth monitoring capabilities and know the virtual world where your children wonder, evaluate the risk they are exposed to. If you find appropriate, talk with them.
Use net-MaMMa reports to know which websites and subjects interest your children.
What subjects they search in the search engines.
What kind of conversations they have and, in case of danger, with whom do they chat with.

Follow regularly your children’s activities through their navigation and computer usage records:

When you log into net-MaMMa control panel you will see the summary of the computer’s activities of your children.

From the summary screen, follow the links to see the list of websites visited, programs or games used or the Messenger chats.
If you whish, net-MaMMa can launch the program or website listed so that you can check it's content.
Pay special attention to Messenger chats. Predators might try to get in touch with your children.
Classify current Messenger friends with whom your child chats. When the summary shows that there are new friends, check the content of their chats.

Use this information to better know your children and think how to talk with him (her), if you find necessary.

When you access net-MaMMa, net-MaMMa will look for updates. As an antivirus would, net-MaMMa also checks our servers to find new websites addresses to block.

Apply different rules depending on the maturity of each of your children.

net-MaMMa can have independent configurations for each computer user, taking advantage on Windows user accounts.

Set unique Windows accounts for each of the children.
For each Windows user, net-MaMMa will create an account that you can individually configure. This allows you to monitor and educate individually each of your children.
Set different monitoring levels as well as different time limits for your children, according to their maturity levels.
Configure the “Default User” the most restrictively possible way- the configuration for this user will be applied to all users that you did not classify yet.
By doing this, you avoid that someone escapes your supervision by creating new Windows accounts.

Set different time limits for different kinds of computer usage:

Computer, programs, Games and Internet are important sources of experiences and knowledge in the growth of your children.

However, the usage without boundaries might bring up negative results to scholar performance and social integration (if they forget their homework or reduce normal physical and social activities with children with their age).

Set daily limits for the usage of programs, games and Internet, individually for each of your children.
