My Turn, Please
"When I am on the computer doing some work, my sons go nuts waiting for their turn," says Susan Attiyah of California. Attiyah couldn't be happier! "I am one person who believes that computers will be taking over the world, so I want them to learn everything about it." Attiyah's sons go on the computer every day, a few times a day.

Attiyah prefers her children to play educational games. "I taught my youngest child his colors on the computer," she says.
