Ummm, it's called parenting. My kids are 3, 6, and 9. My 3 year old plays on an old iPad, my 6 and 9 year olds both have iPods that we bought them for Christmas. The iPods are kept in our room, they only get them in a public space. Same goes for our desktop and PC, all are in public areas where we can monitor what they are doing. They know what is ok and isn't, and thus far have done well with it. If we catch them doing something they shouldn't, they will lose the device and IF they get it back, it will have some form of parental control app installed (there are multiple). I'm going to give them trust until they betray it.

As for video games, my kids aren't allowed to get the M rated games and only some of the T rated ones. So there is no Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty in my house, that can wait for the teenage years. I don't consider my wife and I to be hardcore parents, we censor very little that is on regular tv and don't try to hide things from our kids. But we also don't let them get or do anything, as some parents that I know. It's all about balance.

BTW, when did you see your first nudie magazine back in the day? I was probably 10 or so, good memories.........
