What did we learn?

One of the most often heard comments from parents is their kids are nailed to the seats for computer games or appear doing something that parents are not comfortable in front of the computer (when asked what they are not comfortable about, parents couldn't name any specific). The debate over the usage of computer by our kids is long and acrimonious. Experts have loads of advices helping parents what can and can't be done in order to regulate the usage of kid's computer time. Not only these experts dispute how kid's computer time should be regulated, they also dispute the time kids are allowed to use the computer. Parents are given the plethora of methods which offer a solution that you could follow particular experts' tenets and no other. I just wonder by regulating the activities that prevent kids to receive information that is not right for them, would there be a better way for parents just to be a part of kid's world and find out what they are actually receiving, and then share with them in whatever form that helps to keep the dialogue going.
