do you think it's a good way to let the parents oversee their children?

Parents can oversee their children activity in the Internet without the children knowing. Their are a lot of programs out there that are intended for this specific things. It's really sad that children know see on-line games as fun. I remember when I was a kid which is not so long ago since I'm only 20 that fun for us was running around outside the house and getting dirt all over you. Some children now don't get to have enough fresh air because they are so confined in their house. I think the best thing to do is to take away the computer. Computer is a good means for education but I don't think it is necessary to put a computer in a children bedroom.

if we telling towards the kids dont play games in online but they are saying i am playing what u do but they always kept interest on online games but not with the studies. From this generation so many kids are playing games in online . If the parents scold them then again and againg they are playing games in online. What we do now we do nothing infornt of them. I am telling about the final thing just conitnue games with your favour. just play games about urself but not continuously it will causes some sorts if we kept the games just like a studies the kids will be changed slowly and they play only studiable games and finally he got the studies and games also on online.

I think that yes, parents should be overseeing what their kids are up to on the internet. I always paid attention to what my kids were doing. Also I am not stupid to what kids are capable of and their rebellion. you have to be willing to work with them and set boundaries and rules. If they don't follow those rules then you have to have consequences. When my daughter first set up a myspace account, she did so behind my back. I found out...why? Because I was paying attention. I took the computer away from her for a short while. And then we made an agreement. She could have an account but with rules. It had to be set to private and I was on as her friend so that I could randomly check on her. She screwed up once after that and the computer got taken from her for longer. The next time, we have no problems. Parents need to pay attention to what their kids are doing online. I would not put anyone else in that spot. It is my job as a parent.

With so much going on in the world today it is a must that parents must monitor the online activities. Blocking sites is not enough because children will figure out how to go around that. Parents, regardless if the children are unhappy about monitoring them need to make sure they are aware of all activities. It is too late later to figure out what happened. There are so many online predators and although we as parents trust our children we can not control the predators. Either place the computer in an area where they can be watched. Purchase a key logger or be rid of the computer in total. As a parent I would want to make sure that my child is safe and unmonitored computer activity is not safe.

It definitely won't work, kids are going to end up resenting their parents for peering over their shoulders. If they want to do something wrong, us watching them is not going to stop them, they will find some way to do it, whether at home or school or by going over to a friends house whose parents aren't spies. I have only been a parent for a few years, but it wasn't that long ago that I was a teenager playing online games, and my husband still acts like a big kid most of the time. I would like to believe that open communication is always better than deceitful and sneaky tactics.
