Best practices
Talk to your child about Bark and why the Bark extensions need to remain installed. Don't worry, if either one is deleted or stops working, we will alert you.
Connect the Microsoft accounts that your child uses to Bark.
Get the Bark Home! With it in place, you can filter the web, set up screen time schedules, and block apps/sites on any computer or internet device in your home.

Reviewing Alerts
If Bark detects cyberbullying, sexual content, self-harm, or other concerning content in your child's web browsing or searches, we'll send you an alert. Learn more about how Bark's content monitoring works.
