Hello anonymous,

It sounds like your computer is doing exactly what you told it to do. If
you want to give your kids access to things on your computer you can either
place those items (assuming these items are files or links) into a folder
and then sharing the folder. One other option is to create user accounts on
your computer and making the name and password the same as on their
computer. This should authenticate the user when he attempts to go to your
computer.
Hope this helps
Thank You
