You might just learn something yourself. Put it where you live. Families spend most of their time in the kitchen and family room, yet the computer is often tucked away in a bedroom or office. It should be as visible as the family TV, or in a study that's easily accessible for the whole family. Create a family software diet.
Software is the PC' s personality.
Establish a software diet that keeps your kids mentally alert by balancing educational and entertainment programs. Pick software that fits your child's hobbies, interests, and educational needs. And remember, programs are best when they reinforce real-life experiences. Establish house rules. Create and post a list of PC usage rules.
