So what was I thinking letting them have computers?
That they would use them for homework, of course. Which they do. But. Not just that.
I'm not worried that their getting into inappropriate content. We monitor closely. But they do spend a lot of time distracted by Facebook, games and movies. And let's face it, with Hulu, a computer is as good as a TV now.
The times I've threatened to remove the computer from my boy's room because I've felt like it's distracted him from school work or home responsibilities, he's always countered with, "I need it for school."
Now I've got some evidence to the contrary.
After reading this article I'm starting to think letting my kids have computers in their rooms was one of my bigger parenting blunders.
Come start of a new school year there may be some rearranging around here.
