This is a good one. I’d have died of dehydration if I’d had a PC with access to the internet in my room as a teenager. Also learning to cover my tracks and circumvent restrictions my parents put on the shared family computer taught me valuable computer skills.
The best thing we have done is make all computers be in the same room, and no personal digital devices until they are old enough.
Just being able to give oversight is the most important thing.
You do need to be able to say “youre not old enough for that yet” and then explain why. Luckily my kids accept that when its explained.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll keep that in mind as an uncle.
