Get the kid a computer... (Score 1)

We have 4 computers in the house for my wife, my child, and me. One computer belongs to my 18 month old son. Yeah, it is the computer that is 5 years old... Instead of spending lots of money on a fancy setup to keep the kid away from the computer find a cheap old machine and turn him lose. He can learn how computers work and if he screws it up no big deal. My son really isn't very interested in the other computers in the house when he knows he can go and play his computer. He learned early on via good old fashioned discipline that he doesn't touch the computers that don't belong to him. He is currently satisfied with using his own computer. That may change, but it seems to be working for now. Good luck...
