Children and Screen Time

Randi Getzelman English 151 03/24/2013 Every parent wants nothing more then their child to succeed. They want their child to develop and define with out struggle. In this day in age we concord access to so many devices that underside help contribute to a childs success. Many will argue that a device such as a I-pad or mobile device will hinder ones learning. I experience the exact opposite will occur, and the child will gain knowledge. Children develop and learn so much at a very young age.They latch on everything they see and hear. They best learn through touch, sight, and sound. Using a device such as a touch I-pad, or I-phone a child can interact on their level. There are so many Apps available for children of all ages. They will help a child develop at their strength and speed, while learning. I feel they will absorb more knowledge with a educational hands on device rather then TV. Children have to interact and use their brains in order for the App to work.Placing a child i n front of a TV to just sit and learn, they do not set down the same hands on experience. There will be those arguing that placing a phone or tablet in a childs arms will cause harm. I do not see that being true, in this day in age we use Apps for everything. preferably at the grocery store, banking, or even schools, most teach with touch devices. I feel that helping your child learn with a hands dissolve device, will only help them in the future.
