How to setup or configure Parental Controls in Windows 7

Windows 7 has some decent family safety features such as the Parental Controls. This helps your kids to learn discipline. Remember what is written in the Bible, "Teach your children right from wrong, and when they are grown they will still do right" (Pro 22:6). "Correct your children, and they will be wise; children out of control disgrace their mothers" (Pro 29:15). By setting up Parental Controls, your children will learn how to manage their time on the computer, inappropriate content from games will be avoided, and they will only have access to programs that you give them permission to. If they learn to abide by these rules then parents will have peace of mind as well as the children. There is nothing worst than letting your child sit on a computer and doing what he wants to do, playing what he wants to play, surfing the internet wherever he/she wants. This is where your responsibility as a father or mother to keep your child on the right path of life. No parent will ever want their children to walk the crooked way of life! Parents want their sons and daughters to grow up as reasonable and respectable citizens.
