Valve is letting Steam users sign up for their Family Sharing Beta where families can share games across user accounts and PCs. I don't have a ton of games I would recommend for kid play but I have a few like Plants vs. Zombies and Portal 2 that are not too graphic so I decided to check it out. You can sig up and get information about Family Sharing on the SteamPowered.com support site. Once you have you beta access, open Settings in your Steam client. Not the website but the actual client. On the Account tab click 'MANAGE FAMILY SHARING & DEVICES' then 'AUTHORIZE DEVICE' in the 'Authorized Devices' popup. To enable other devices, repeat the 'AUTHORIZE DEVICE' setup for each other device. Friends and family don't need to be part of the beta to be authorized. If you get a 'No authorized devices found.' you haven't authorized any computers in the Steam client.
