Absolutely, couldn't agree more. I always thought that was how they got to be good kids in the first place.
My girls are 15 and 16. They have had their own computers in their rooms for 3 years now, and they shared one for 3 years before that. I've never thought of it as being spoiled, computers have become just a part of life. We've never used a Net-nanny type device, but that is primarily because years ago when I looked at them they seemed more trouble than benefit. Interesting to see how the market is changing, that device has quite a list of features. We have relied on using the net together, establishing limits, discussing what is out there and what is appropriate or not. Maybe it is easier with girls, I'm not sure. In any case, as long as they keep their grades up, and they demonstrate some balance, they determine the appropriate usage. Their most frequent usage continues to be MSN, with friends all over the globe. Second would be school assignment research.
