Torch: A Router for Digital Parenting

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Torch.

I am someone who worries a lot about my children. As someone who works in the digital space, I am well aware of many of the things that happen on the Internet. I know that there are many things that my kids and I have to watch out for and it is my job as a parent to make certain that they are safe.

This isn't always easy to do when it comes to being online and surfing the Internet. My kids have ended up on some strange sites and while they were all gaming related, we have gotten a few viruses over the years. Parenting in the digital age is certainly not easy and I often feel like I need to be aware of what my kids are doing 24/7 but that is not always possible, right?

Monitoring our kids digital consumption is something that we take seriously and that my husband and I are constantly doing. But I still worry. I want my kids to explore the Internet safely without having to be worried about sites they want to visit.

MEET TORCH

Torch is a router with simple parental tools. These tools are:

Content filtering.

You can choose where you want your children to go when they are online and what you want them to see. With Torch, you can block any site that you don't want your child to visit and this can be customized for each child.

Time keeping.

Every hear that begging, “Mom just ten more minutes on this game. PLEASE!”? This happens all of the time in my house. Or I find a kid who sneaks their computer into bed. Now you can limit usage during certain times which makes it much easier for the kids to follow the rules and gives the power back to the parents.

You can also use the pause button for things like dinner time or family outings or to even go play outside. The pause button can be customized for each kid.

Reporting.

You will always know what your kids are doing and where they go when they are online.

Now with Torch, your child can explore the Internet in a safe environment. Torch can empower you as a parent to give your kids their Internet time while still becoming good digital citizens.

There will always be ways for kids to get around the rules. On top of building a physical product, Torch is building an online community that encourages discussion about Internet safety and related issues, so kids and parents understand these topics and why the rules are in place.

Torch is way to allow kids to freely explore the Internet and learn, while still being safe. They want the parents to have peace of mind and that is exactly what Torch can do for your family.
