2. Exit Kaspersky
3. Press Win+R → type “regedit” → Enter

5. Find the SuggestSafeKids key
6. Double click on its value and change from 1 to 0.

I don't need that yet, with six years my daughter don't use the internet, just youtube KIds.
But it's good to now there's a way to turn that on.

My kids are 5 and 4 approximately. They both know how to download from the Google store and do searches by voice so both have parental control installed, although I ended up choosing a specialized solution instead of Kaspersky

Well Kaspersky has also a more complete product than old Parental Control -> KSKids

Yes, I know, I used it for a few months. But the product I'm using does allow me to check what they are watching, stops videos with bad content, even if it has an innocent name, allows me granular control of how much time I want them to use each application instead of a general usage limit, etc.

I don't want to derail the thread though, just warning that the fact a child is 6 is not reason to not have some monitoring on their devices

It worked for me.

You are allowed to mention what if you like. It's tools to protect children after all.

Qustodio. Lots of granular control and deeper monitoring than any Malware suite I've tested, and I've tested all that had parental control tools. It can even stop a phone from receiving calls and block SMS.

@harlan4096 , KSKids is that not included as an option in the latest version?

 

[harlan4096]

Not in KIS but in KTS I think...

I had a problem with Kaspersky's parental control. It didn't report anything, even though I set all the settings correctly. Sometimes it worked, but it would shut down after a few days. In the end, I also switched to a specialized third-party application. If I can mention it here, it is this Family Safety App to Monitor Child's Phone - Family Orbit®. It has all the services I need to monitor my child's activities, from filtering websites and videos with questionable content to checking text & call logger and GPS tracking. So far, I haven't encountered any problems in using it. Everything works great and as it should.
