Young children have important tasks to accomplish to provide a solid base for future learning.
For children under the age of three, computers do not provide the experiences with three-dimensional objects and learning in the real world that they need. Young children have difficulty fully understanding who controls the computer and who is causing the actions on the screen. For children under three, computer use is not recommended. Beginning around three years of age children may be introduced to computers, with supervision and guidance from adults or older siblings. Pay careful attention to the software being used, and do not replace needed learning activities with computer time.
