I have set my home page on my computer to pbskids.org as my girls love this site (aged 5 and 7). On the other hand, my son is more into "myspace" and "cheats" (15 years old)...not bad since the computer is in the living room and I can watch him with everything he's doing. He even IMs his friends and I read what he writes (but he's okay with that...he knows I'm one of those parents that's always asking "what'd they say?" or "whatcha talkin' bout?". He's a great kid!!!! Oh yeah, and there is to be no one else but me as his #1 friend on MySpace...ha-ha. He tried putting his "girl-friend" as his number 1 one time and I gave him the lecture that mom will always be #1; girls come and go. He put me back in my place on his friend list and we've been fine ever since...HA-HA!!! Very good post; well written!!!

Great practical advice. Excellent post – too many people allow the children to be in control and take the easy way out, rather than taking the time themselves to ‘parent’.
