Ask:
I just realized that my older children all did. But I do not let my youngest (almost 4) or my grandson (2) touch the computer. I guess I am too lazy to teach them to use it properly. Maybe I should have one of my older ones teach them?
Answer:
When my boys were toddlers we would look at some sites. Mostly Playhouse Disney. They liked the music. They were really into Stanley at the time. Whatever happened to Stanley? Is that show still on?
Answer:
My 4yo doesn't yet..but she just turned 4 last month. I don't have any thoughts about her NOT using it, we just haven't loaded the software appropriate for her yet.
My 2 yo is NOT allowed to touch the computer currently due to her incident with the monitor last week. (IMO -she really is too young yet anyway since she just turned 2)
Answer:
I sit 19 mo. old diva on my lap. She LOVES to type and imitates me to a T. One time I walked away and came back to see her little fingers flying over the keyboard as the screen went a little crazy, saying, "typing!".
I go to Fisher Price.com with her. They have games there for different levels, where the kids just push keys and cute things pop up. She loves it.
Answer:
My almost 4yo is loves to play games and type on the computer. We have preschool software and she also uses noggin, pbskids & nickjr websites. Sometimes she accidentially clicks on something but she hasn't messed anything up. Btw, my husband has the computer locked down with parental controls, etc.
Answer:
Yes, I do. My youngest dd is 3, 4 next month and loves playing games on the computer. We're subscribed to Nick.Jr. arcade, and she has Dora, Diego, Backyardigan games that she just loves to play! We also have computer games for her aimed at her age group, Reader Rabbit Toddler, Blues Clues 123's and ABC's, and the like.. she's been playing on the computer since she was 3. She usually plays for about 1/2 hr.. sometimes less, sometimes more... if she wants to play, she asks.
