Fun and hassle free learning
Being a parent always comes the irrational fear of doing something wrong and not doing the best in terms of raising children. Face it, no one is perfect and as with most everything else in this world, the concept of perfect or worse is relative to the observer.
Instead of worrying all the time and ending up being very strict with your child, loosen up and realize that as a parent, you are a guardian and loving guide of your child - not a dictator.
For instance, computer games and online gaming have become quite a craze among children, so much so that children tend to get hooked on these games and neglect all else.
This obviously is unacceptable but perhaps instead of banning computer games for your children, you can suggest better, more enjoyable computer games that are actually educational. This way, you two can reach a compromise and come to a win win situation for all involved instead of a master and conqueror type of setting that only breeds further problems that may well be carried on to the future.
Curtail your child's less than nice behavior by reinforcing good ones. Choose the best educational software for children that are truly fun, interactive and educational. Your children will unknowingly never stop learning as they continue to work on these educational software programs.
