Internet Control notifications through TV

Dear All,

is there an application that can connect to my Apple TV and notify of when my children are trying to access web-sites that they should not be on? Can it pop up a notification on my TV when I am downstairs watching tv?

Please let me know.

Thanks

One solution to all that monitoring is don't put a TV in your children's room. They should only have access to TV and internet in a public space. If they've ever somehow gotten to a site that's not "kid safe", it's not the end of the world. Most young kids are repulsed by it anyway.

If they're under 9, it's probably a good idea not to give them access to the internet or TV. They will come up with creative things to do on their own. Giving kids TV or Internet is a bit of lazy parenting. Giving them bulidng blocks allows them to create.

Kids are much more creative without TV or the internet. They don't need any "head start" on computers and technology. They learn much faster than adults because they aren't afraid to make mistakes yet. Even when they start at age 12, they'll outdo most adults with any new technology.
