Circle with Disney at Best Buy | Monitor Your Child’s Online Activity
If you have kids between the ages of 4-18 then filtering content, managing screen time and staying informed about what your kids are doing online is pretty important. I monitor absolutely everything that my kids do online. Everything. I look at all of their text messages and everything that they do on their computer. I am their parent, they live in my house and I know everything that happens online at our house.
We just introduced Circle with Disney into our household and I love it. Installation was super simple and now I can do everything that I was doing before in less time, all in one place. Have you heard of Circle with Disney available at Best Buy?

I have been reading such good things about this product. I love that you can manage time allowed!
Circle sounds awesome. I have three kids who all love their tech, and it’s hard to keep them all wrangled.
I really need this app! My son has an iPad and I need to make sure he is protected on there! I am excited to try this!
I love the idea of Circle. I wish they would have had something like this when I was a nanny because it was so hard to manage kids and their digital content.
I love the idea of the circle! I am totally going to have to check this out for my kids when they are old enough to have their own technology. Right now they are only 9 & 6.
What an awesome idea for families. Disney rocks as usual!!
This is such an all around great idea. I keep hearing people talking about it and I love the functionality of it. The fact that I can limit my child’s time on technology is perfect.
Love all these great features, how useful! Also..scary thought that we have to worry like this in a way, my children are still young. Glad products are out there to help us parents out!
This would be perfect for my Son. I am always worried about him being online. It can be a scary place.
I love to shop at Best Buy. I will have to pick up a Circle device to use with my kids. It is such a great idea.
Oh my gosh! This is brilliant! We go round and round with our grandkids with tech and the internet. But I would have to get gramps on board because he always lets them have their way. Ha!
I have a Circle too and love it! It helps me to ensure my kids tablet time is just right!
What a great product. I will definitely get this when my kids get a little older
I wish Circle was around when my son was little. Monitoring technology is really a big deal when it comes to our kids. I’ll pass this info along to my friends and family with little ones though.
So awesome! It’s so important to know what your kids are doing online mainly for their safety.
It can be hard to control and limit internet access when you’re running around just trying to keep up with the day, It can slip by. I love that you can set timers and program it so it works even if you forget!
I need to see about getting Circle for my household. Being about to shut down the internet to certain devices at a certain time is golden.
This sounds like a great product. I don’t have any little ones, but this would be great for my niece and nephew.
This is the awesomest thing I have seen in a long time. I NEED to get one of these at my house.
This is a really smart system. The bedtime setting will be perfect for school nights and I like that you can filter content.

I have heard good things about this. I may have to look into it as we are headed into the tween stage.
I like that Circle can set time limits. THat is really useful for setting screen time boundaries.
