Hi all, Having two kids aged 3 and 1 I am increasingly getting anxious about the right way to introduce them to electronic.computer medium.
My 3 year old (almost 4 actually) is already introduced to iPad but is restricted to about 2 hours of screen time (TV/iPad) per week and never in a bulk of more than 30 minutes. I did this more intuitively than through any logical reasoning. However, when I look at the road ahead, I am vexed by questions to which I have no answers, questions like: - what is the max screen time that is actually OK? - is it OK to reduce this to zero (assuming my angels do not scream her head off) - what is the good age to expose them to a computer? - what is a good age to explain concepts about computing? - Is TV better or iPad better for allocated screen time: big-screen/small-screen vs. sedative/involved balance and many more. Does any of you know of good books/research/theories in this area? I would appreciate any pointers. Thanks, skn
