It seems that these days kids want newer technological devices quite young. Even toddlers seem to be fascinated by their parent’s computers and mobile devices. After all, these light up and are visually appealing. However, it’s important to keep in mind that at a very young age a child could view an iPad as a toy, which of course it isn’t. So, some experts have determined that it’s usually not a good idea for a child under the age of 3 to be allowed any iPad activity. From the age of 3 to 5 years of age, a child can start interaction under parental supervision for around an hour. By the age of 6 when they enter school, it might be time to consider giving them a cheaper iPad model or perhaps your previous iPad as you upgrade to a new one, along with a good sturdy iPad case designed for kids. From age 6 to 18, it is also important to make sure a child spends no more than two hours on a tablet computer. An iPad is great and can even benefit a child educationally but there is also real-world interaction with other kids, that is just as important.
