Considering the lyrics (or lack thereof I should say)...that really isn't that impressive of a task. ;)

Yes...It is so much fun sitting there and monitoring them time after time... ::)
It's like watching a Barney video. Even if you're interacting with them while they play, eventually the content is going to push you towards insanity.

It's best to use language that explains that personal information is very important and to leave it to adults. Explain it in a way whereby the message is that you are protecting them. Kids wants to feel protected by their parents. It's when they hit their teens that they start looking for independance.

Huh? I said to explain to them that you DO trust them...

My eyes play tricks on me. I wish I knew why. I even read your post 2 or 3 times.

No worries, I was just a bit confused. Thought maybe my grammar had gone bad on me and I typed the wrong thing. :dunno

Supervision doesn't have to mean sitting behind them and watching every minute, it just means paying attention once in a while. I work in a game store and you'd be floored by the number of parents that don't have the wildest clue what their kids are trying to buy and play. They simply don't pay attention - off in their own little self-centered world.
