Acrobat Reader is a must for any father, and perhaps Direct X could be useful as well.

Symantec’s Norton GoBack™ 4.0 allows you to easily undo PC problems. Restore your PC to a healthy state by going back minutes, hours, or even days (depending on available disk space). Also use Norton GoBack to restore files that have been deleted or modified, and to try new software safely.link

Ohh i have that, i have the complete norton suite except i just bypassed everything else and intsalled internet security and anti virus.

Are there any other programs that would be recomended, for any type of pc (not just office) (Dont suggest p2p or bit torrent, im looking for things i might not know about)

Photoshop/Fireworks?

Quicktime.

Codecs, like DivX, XviD always come in useful when you need to view stuff.
Also, for that matter, you could just install FFD Show, which renders videos and acts like a sort of universal codec for many MPEG-4 files, an ever more popular format for various video files and soon becoming a must have for every computer.
Even though its a PC that's mainly office based, its always a good idea to have your computer able to open a wide range of popular files...you never know what events may crop up when you want to view a file quick (e-mail from friends being the highest reason for this).

FFD Show

Winrar - might be useful
Realplayer - the amount of crap that uses it
WinDVD - perhaps?
Java - sun's java
Flash - if it isn't already installed
Alcohol
