Coastal North County · By introduction
We set up and manage home networks for families who want their kids safe online and a home that isn’t run by screens.
You decide the rules. We set up the house so they hold, and we keep them holding.
Sound familiar?
Have you ever thought setting screen time controls should be easier than this?
Are you sure the filters and app permissions you set up are actually doing their job?
Would you like to see, from anywhere, any time, that your kids’ internet use is what you want it to be?
Most parents we talk to don’t want their kids on their phones all the time. They also don’t have the time to drill down into every setting on every device, and keep up with it as the kids and the apps change. That’s where we come in.
The way we see it
You wouldn’t put your child in a car without a seatbelt. You wouldn’t let them walk into any house, any bar, any club in the world, unsupervised. Without the right controls and the right oversight, that is what the internet is.
This isn’t about taking the devices away. It’s about setting up the house so the rules you would set anyway actually hold, and so you can see that they’re holding.
What we set up
01
THE NETWORK
The kids’ devices on their own network, with filtering that holds and the internet off at bedtime. TVs, cameras and speakers kept separate from everything else.
02
THE DEVICES
Every phone, tablet, console and TV set up for the kid who uses it, with controls that follow the phone out of the house.
03
THE DASHBOARD
One place to see what’s connected, what’s blocked, and when, from anywhere. Need a rule changed? Text us and it’s done the same day.
Who this is for
Parents who have thought about this. Who want it done properly, and don’t want to become the family IT department to get there. Families in Carlsbad, Encinitas and the towns around them, with kids somewhere between their first tablet and their first car.
Most come to us because another family sent them. We take a few at a time, so each one gets our full attention.
Not for everyone
- —Not the cheapest WiFi.
- —Not for reading your kids’ messages behind their back.
- —Not outside coastal North County, for now. There’s a guide for everyone else.
Who’s behind it
One person.
A dad in Carlsbad. Twenty-five years coaching kids in this town. A career in security. Veteran-owned.
I set up my own house first and timed every step. My name isn’t on the site yet, because of my day job. The families I work with know it on the first visit.
