Are toddlers too young for tablets?
In the world of technology even our toddlers are requesting gifts like tablets, iPads and iTunes gift cards. Parents have found that their children are not as interested in toys but prefer the luxury technology has to offer. Here is something to think about as it pertains to your youngster.
Psychotherapists have said that children need to play with toys. This interaction helps them with self-esteem, connecting with others and developing creativity. Research has shown that computer games have so much sensory input that the brain finds it difficult to focus on one activity and eventually its ability to stay focused is impaired. Pediatricians in the UK believe the widespread screen time used by toddlers is impacting their attention span and concentration, in addition to appetite.
The solution to these unwanted issues is to still encourage
your child to play! This will improve your their creativity, mental development
and overall physical health.
