For All Eyes Only
When your children begin using the computer, DVD player, and other electronic devices on their own in your home, you'll naturally want to keep an eye on them.
The simplest solution is to have "all the media" in a public part of the house like the kitchen area or the family room. That way, you won't need to go out of your way to see what your children are watching or doing, and it won't look like you are snooping around either.
Sending the noisy kids to the basement or their bedroom might seem like a good idea, but it's easy to completely lose track of what the children are doing when they are out of sight. And one quick thing, those parental control settings ~ once your children become more tech savvy, they are not as effective as we wish.
