Every morning when I go to make sure M is up and getting ready for school,
this is what I find...
M on her laptop and Thomas snuggling with her.
She has had her own laptop since she was 5.
She plays her games like
club penguin and animal jam.
We have a parental block on it
so she can't go to any websites
that we haven't approved.
Today one of the parents of her friends
let us know that she had hacked into hubby's password
and was checking out things on youtube.
Hubby has a program running on her labtop
that shows him exactly what she has looked up.
Luckily she was looking up pretty harmless stuff
like farting cat ( I did have to laugh).
Needless to say we were nOt happy about the whole thing.
It did amaze us that she saw hubby type the password and remember it.
Her laptop has been confiscated
and we had a long talk about
trust, privileges, deception, the dangers of the internet, etc.
M really enjoys her games
and I don't mind since they have educational aspects to them.
She also does a lot of other academic activities such as
piano and Kumon
so I also want to her do activities that
she really enjoys.
Not sure what I am going to do at this point
but for now there is no computer for her.
