Where do you place your child's computer?

my son's computer is in the living room too.. and he usually gets about one hour of usage a day. try not to let it be too much, haha
recently the MDA cyber wellness was at his school (2 days ago, actually) ... cyber wellness campaign was launched last week. the bus is like a mobile classroom: i went to have a look! kiosks with games and computer screens.
so for the past 2 nights we've been reading through the http://cyberwellness.org.sg together, especially the section on resources, which we both felt was very helpful and interesting. tips on gaming addiction, cyber bullying, copyright, privacy. he even tried playing some of the games
it's a good resource, just thought i'd share very excited by this campaign, because it was just what i was worrying about recently, what with kids spending so much time online now ... -
The iMac's in the living room, in full view of everyone. It's useful there because the younger kids can access it for their animated stories.
Also, having the desktop in the living room means that no. 1 won't have the chance to surf after his bedtime. I'm better able to monitor that he's in his bedroom sleeping, rather than accessing the computer after everyone's asleep. -
Instead of visually monitor what and where our DD and DS surf, a more efficient way is to look at the history cache in the browser.
