My kids are still young.. but when they get older I plan to try and find that fine line that every parent dreams of finding.. you know the one where you're a friend
and a parent. I was brought up in a military household and privacy was not in great supply. I think that while I will monitor what my kids do, I can't expect them to become anything unless they fail and try things on their own. success is bred by failure, not by coddling.
my son uses the computer and he's 4. naturally, he only goes to noggin and thomas and friends. He's limited on his computer time and his television time. Of course if they are around and mommy and daddy want to "wrestle" then I don't mind a bit of extra TV time
