    Parental Controls for internet...

    I want to make sure they don't blunder onto inappropriate content. We do have fairly frank conversations about sex and such things when they ask.

    Parental Controls for internet...

    Yeah. That's an issue for me too. I don't want to spy on my children. But then, I watch over them when they are playing in the yard or the park. It's my job. If there's something inappropriate going on, I put a stop to it. If there's someone trying to lure my children into danger, I...

    The most important thing I ever did to become a better parent was the Landmark Forum. I finally understood the difference between what I believed was true based on the past, and what was actually going on. Then I could get out of the way and be with my children.

    Kids swimming naked?...

    I remember as a kid being naked a lot. But I also remember being aware that it wasn't something for public consumption, so to speak. We had a boat and so would generally go nudie out on the ocean. I think I hit about 11 years old and got a bit self conscious. Stopped it for a while and then...
