But I have no research to back that up. :) And I am likely old fashioned about the books - although it will be a sad day when we stop reading from books. <br />I do know that if the girls are here for a sleepover i make sure the ipad accompanies them because it works!! But I do hope one day the girls will have their noses in a book more then some electronic devise - Their mother read constantly from age 5 on. Reading exercises the brain and makes the mind think! It makes us use our imagination. <br />Julie Cortenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283325168262837790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558276756330818242.post-8342428505298320712013-10-08T22:13:52.717-06:002013-10-08T22:13:52.717-06:00It is so similar to TV watching in the days of our...It is so similar to TV watching in the days of our parenting - I think that limits are definitely in order for the tech toys and games. <br />My little grandson loves his tablet and he is only 2 years old - I think the screen may be a bit addictive for them!<br />What do you think Julie?<br />Maureen in VancouverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558276756330818242.post-43884514731963931522013-10-06T02:12:52.087-06:002013-10-06T02:12:52.087-06:00"No screen time under age 2," they say -..."No screen time under age 2," they say - but just try to keep the 1-year-old away while the 4-year-old is watching her Princess song videos! A parenting challenge of our day. But I suspect they'll survive. :)Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16779802318545422108noreply@blogger.com
