wifi sniffing, quick tip please?

[Orange]

Hi, for parental control I would like to sniff traffic on my home
wifi, wpa2 encrypted. My problem is not to crack the password, I
have it. I only wish to be able to log al traffic, images, etc like
I would do on a wired lan. Mi idea is to leave my own laptop
connected to the wifi network, and be able to check from there what
the kids are up to.

Do you have any suggestion? Aircrack-ng maybe? Anything else easy to
use?

I'd get a decent router and put something like OpenWRT on it. Then you
can do whatever traffic monitoring you want directly from the router,
and as a bonus you have more control over configuration, so you could
block sites you don't want your kids visiting right at the router.
(Some consumer WAPs let you do this, but others do not.)
