quoted from "Wisdom of the Elders" as quoted in "Kids are worth it! Giving your child the gift of inner discipline" by Barbara Coloroso, page 28
Small children should be supervised by a caregiver when at a computer,
to ensure no accidents occur that could hurt the child and that no equipment gets broken.
