How young is
too young?
Young children can strengthen their interactions with other
family members, as well as improve their familiarity with sounds,
words, language and the world around them, through the
responsible use of technology. Most experts agree, however, that
children under the age of 2 probably shouldn't trade their rattles in
for tablets. There are enough real-world interactions to keep them
busy, and whether they play with blocks or pull the cat's tail, these
tangible experiences are important to their development. There
will be plenty of time to show them Angry Birds when they're a bit
older, so allow them to develop their senses by exploring, touching
things and even getting into a little mischief.
