Just a few years ago Steve Jobs released a revolutionary electronic called IPAD. What a product, hun?! I was in love at the first sight, and a few more other billion of people as well. Great, i bought my iPad and i didn't stop using it for my pleasure and work. Then i hear a nanny saying that her charger is getting an iPad for her birthday. Because I'm curious, i ask how old is her charger and she says ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. Whatttttt?????? A 500 dollars "toy" for a 2 YEARS OLD? Yes!!!
So then i met the little girl with her iPad and she was obsessed with her toy. Like any other kid, you get a new toy you don't stop play for a few days, and then you are done. Not with the IPAD !!! This little girl was connected with her iPad, she knew all the commands, all her applications and what to do. Then more and more kids start getting the same toy, and all of them completely addicted to.
Nowadays for every 10 kids at least 8, are playing with an iPad (or any other Apple Product). We know how this new product is a efficient tool and how help kids at home, at school, in hospitals and other places. But we know the tantrum is higher too when you say to those kids to turn it off.How the iPad affect your kids social life? I believe kids and adults are addicted to the same toys, and our social life follow a path of text messages, video calls and social media.The best way to have a better use of an electronic like this one, it is explaining why the child will deserve to play and for how long its on. Remind 10 min before and then 5 min before to turn it off.
A good routine for this special toy results in an easy smile at the end.
Have a good weekend.
