user or Admin account that you do, change it.
Otherwise, they can use any software you can.
A different user account for them, with a login
and other parameters, limited privileges and
access to the system and internet limited, is
about all you can do.
There are some children-protective browsers;
those could be installed on a child's account.

You can also use most browsers to not allow content
from specific sites by URL; that control would depend
on the browser(s) in use and how they are set up.
The separate accounts for other users, where
you would also have to log-in to use the Mac,
would be a better idea overall; and then you
can limit access to the hard disk drive, and
the applications, and give them a limited access
and a few items in the Dock. And kid browsers.
This could also save you a lot of trouble should
someone decide to mess with the System or a
few of your important files on the hard drive. It
also would enhance overall security on the Mac.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.
What you need to create a bootable installer
- A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14GB of available storage
- A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, or El Capitan
Download macOS
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Jam entry for Ludum Dare 35 'Shapeshift'. Controls: move with arrow keys. Hold space as you move to fill. Operating System(s): Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, Linux. License: This is. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) to Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) Click the System Preferences icon from your Dock. Alternatively, you can click the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen and then click System Preferences. Click on the Security & Privacy icon. Click the Firewall button. You may need to click the lock icon in the bottom left-hand corner to make adjustments to your Firewall.
- Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, or macOS High Sierra
These download to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server. - Download: OS X El Capitan
This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.
Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal
- Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
- Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace
MyVolumein these commands with the name of your volume.
Big Sur:*
Catalina:*
Mojave:*
High Sierra:* Slowbot mac os.
El Capitan: Rolly ball mac os.
* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath argument and installer path, similar to the way this is done in the command for El Capitan.
After typing the command:
- Press Return to enter the command.
- When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
- When prompted, type
Yto confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased. - After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
- When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.

A bootable installer doesn't download macOS from the internet, but it does require an internet connection to get firmware and other information specific to the Mac model.
For information about the createinstallmedia command and the arguments you can use with it, make sure that the macOS installer is in your Applications folder, then enter the appropriate path in Terminal:
