Kids and computers

Posted June 15, 2008 at 4:14PM in Parenting General by matty39 | Back 

 

Do your kids like to use the computer?   Do they have a time limit?   How do you moniter what sites they go to?

 

My kids like the computer and we usually give them a half hour at a time to play games online.   They each have their own favorites file and I am always walking by to make sure I know where they are.   The computer is in our living room and I have to walk right by it to get to the next room.   As the desk is located next a half wall, they have no online privacy.

My grand kids have access to a computer but we made sure that all of the child safety programs were working before they could have it. They aren't allowed to use it unless they are doing homework.

I believe they won't get to just hang around on the computer until they have reached 17, according to my stepdaughter.

I think it's a wise choice on her part.

We didn't allow any computer games until my son hit age 5 or 6. Now he is allowed to play around on pbskids.org for 30 minutes tops but if he chooses to do this he gives up watching a show that day. He has to pick what type of screen time he gets but he can't have both.

  dishing the dirt, cleaning the chaos

mine love the computer
I monitor it and let them play on the laptop in the kitchen.
my 9yo likes you tube for skate videos but I get nervous there.
I let them play mini clips mostly
