Hi, we have computers for the kids, a MAC, it's old, a 9.something and an XP. The MAC is very user friendly and has great games installed for the kids. But a Windows computer has many more options now for learning games like Dora and Sesame Street. So, any computer that is avail. at Wal-Mart or Staples is fine for kids.
I will tell you our policy. The computer is in the main living area, where it can be seen from everywhere, no way of turning the screen so it can't be seen, anything like that. We also have a picture by Greg Olsen over the monitor of Christ and also a huge picture of the kids. Our 6 yr old can go online and play dress up games on the Barbie website, she can play some online games at several websites. But the controls on her personal page are very strict. And again, everyone in the family is sitting right there.
The 3 yr. old is usually sitting in my lap or my husbands if he is playing anything online, like at Fisher Price or Nick, or Disney. They have really fun games and I think it's okay because we are right there and they can't go anywhere we haven't pre-selected.
Here's a link to anyone wanting awesome prints with religious themes.
