Because I don't have one. And if they know how to use it what makes you think they won't use it inappropriately? <br /><br />I agree with you that- times are different now then they once were, we need to embrace technology and use it because it is a great tool for good things. And you can't force kids not to use them because they will learn it all eventually. <br /><br />BUT- a kid can't get exercise on an ipad. Or fresh air, or friend. He needs to get outside and experience real life. Fights on a playground, interaction, etc.<br /><br />I personally would not let my kids use an ipad before they can even talk. And parents SAY they are moderating and then they don't.<br /><br />As with everything, it is a personal decision. You cannot get away from it, doesn't mean you should necessarily encourage it.Altiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772248808276734643noreply@blogger.com
