Children today are both blessed and cursed to have access to a world of infinite information. This world, known as the internet, can be used for anything imaginable, from teaching children the sounds letters make, to learning all about dinosaurs or rocket ships. This all comes with a price however, and many parents are left wondering if allowing their children to constantly play with electronic devices is the best thing for them.
On the one hand, electronic devices are great for several reasons. For example, a parent may not be able to take their child to the library as often as they'd like, but with the Internet, there are dozens of websites that can read a wide range of books to your child. Some sites, such as YouTube, even illustrate the pictures, allowing the book to literally come alive.
Children also tend to change their mind about what they love and hate. One day your daughter may love dinosaurs, but the next day she's only interested in princesses. With the Internet, it doesn't matter what her obsession of the day is, you can use these electronic devices to keep her entertained. In a few clicks of a mouse, you can print out a new princess coloring book for her to color, or even stream the latest fairy tale movie.
On the other hand, electronic devices are fragile, especially for young children. Humans today live in a world of iPads, iPhones, laptops and netbooks, and these devices are only getting smaller. All it takes is one drop or one spilled drink and these devices are destroyed forever. With children, these accidents are bound to happen at least sometimes.
Electronic devices can also be addictive, and not everyone who uses them is nice. For these reasons, it's highly recommended that parents limit 'screen time' to only an hour or two a day, depending on the age of the child. Children should also be taught Internet safety from a young age. This includes never telling anyone their real name, where they live, and absolutely no meeting up with strangers, no matter how well you think you know them. If a child is too young to understand these rules, parental control programs can be installed on the electronic devices to insure maximum protection.
