The two little ones are a different story, but as they get older, I think it's reasonable for them to expect a little privacy, too.
I just think there's a difference between online privacy and personal space in the home. Of course, everyone's home is different, and I'm not disrespecting anyone elses methods at all.
I really try to trust my little girl but internet is just unpredictable. And i heard so many things about internet predators that i can't stay calm when she is surfing the internet. And more that that the internet is full of porn sites, inappropriate content, i can't let my child to see that. On the other side i can't restrict her very much. That's why i tried to talk to her and explain what is good and bad but she is just a little girl. I put the computer in a populated area and i installed All-Spy Keylogger to monitor her activity when I'm not home. If there is something fishy i will find out in a second and explain her that what she had done is not quite ok.
