Bark Kids Status

While she wasn’t for Bark at first, she’s since said she’s grateful that I saw those messages because it reaffirmed what she was feeling but didn’t know how to verbalize without sounding sensitive. - "Bark notified me that my young daughter had unknowingly revealed her phone number to strangers on Twitter.  The Bark Kids app allows kids to connect their own accounts to Bark’s monitoring service (not available with Bark Jr).  The fact that Bark notified me was impressive and led to an informative discussion with her the same day". — Jon B. - “Since Bark alerted us to the suicidal language used in the Google doc that was being used in a chat document with a friend, we have seen both a pediatrician and a licensed counselor.  With Bark, you can help keep your kids safe both online and in real life.  The big difference between Bark and other “Parental Control” software is that Bark allows your kids to have so much more privacy.  By allowing them to connect directly to our monitoring service, they get more privacy without having to share their usernames or passwords. - "My wife and I LOVE Bark.  To use it, you’ll need to have an established Bark account and install Bark Kids on your child’s device.  It has allowed us to catch so many “red flags” in the content my kids have accessed on their devices and in their interactions with friends and other people online that I wouldn’t have ever known about otherwise.  Bark Kids is the free child companion app for both Bark and Bark Jr.  Thanks to Bark for letting us peek into our child’s mind! - “ BarkKids is a lifesaver!  It's proving to be extremely valuable". — Josh L. - “It’s just another set of protections we as parents give our kids for the digital environment (or as my 10-year-old calls it, a “cell phone seat belt”).  Families can set healthy time limits and create schedules for when their children’s devices can connect to the internet (through both cell service and Wi-Fi).  You can allow or block specific sites — or even whole categories like streaming services, online gaming, sexual content, and more.  Check-Ins are an easy way for families to get peace of mind when their kids are out and about.  It’s led to some amazing conversations about choosing friends wisely and recognizing toxic people.  My oldest is a 9th grader, and while I trust her, I’ve come to realize through the alerts that some of her friends aren’t truly her friends.
