Although suggest you set up the parental controls so it makes it easier when you pass it back and forth between you (http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/03/26/how-to-set-up-ipad-parental-controls-and-content-filtering/)<br />Chocofishiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438847899363739731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-63746806738619306972013-03-14T04:00:49.673+08:002013-03-14T04:00:49.673+08:00Absolutely fine in my opinion.

The vast majority of child activity apps and games are educational in some manner and are certainly leagues better than sitting and passively consuming the telly (we don't have "TV" in our house either). My daughter (2.5 years) loves to use drawing apps on the tablet and her leappad2 as well as toddler-esque letter and number games.

Believe me, one day he will be reading on an electronic device, and the fun he has now will be a part of his feelings toward the medium. Sounds like you've got a good balance of tech and "reality" going. I trust you to make good judgments about all the apps there are out there....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801232319757139474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-71095802889315933692013-03-13T05:17:18.919+08:002013-03-13T05:17:18.919+08:00I have no problem with toddlers using screen devic...I have no problem with toddlers using screen devices, not one bit. Once again, if I'm happier fiddling with my phone while sitting still in traffic, waiting on line at the post office, or on an airplane, why should I expect my toddler to be content staring into space quietly? I have every intention of introducing B to my kindle fire or an iPod touch or something as soon as he's able to understand it. Maybe for our trip to Florida this summer...? wottadollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527435736562324563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-41307587351520260822013-03-13T04:57:15.567+08:002013-03-13T04:57:15.567+08:00I love incorporating ipad apps into my toddler'...I love incorporating ipad apps into my toddler's learning curriculum at home. I've found a few apps that have really helped him learn the alphabet and pronounce words better. My favorite app for him is Articulation Station. It helps toddlers pronounce words using photo flash cards and you can actually record your toddler saying the words and track his/her progress. Here is a list of my top toddler apps! <br /><br />http://sugartot.typepad.com/my-blog/2013/02/top-apps-for-tech-savvy-toddler.html<br /><br />I also posted about this topic<br /> http://sugartot.typepad.com/my-blog/2013/02/generation-itoddler.html<br />Portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478171474705269359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-72980624216607411872013-03-13T04:18:39.734+08:002013-03-13T04:18:39.734+08:00Elsie uses my iPhone DAILY!

Once as we get on and get seated, I turn on an episode of Sesame Street and she is absorbed. I have tried a couple games but I don't think they are very fun for her on the small iPhone screen.

Don't judge but it's a life saver when we go out to eat. She doesn't need it every time but it is a great thing to pull out if needed. It's also great for when my mom needs to take her to appointments & she needs to wait quietly at a dr office, etc.<br /><br />I have loaded it with some of her favourite cartoons (Dora, Oso, Backyadigans to name a few) plus photos & videos of herself (she loves watching videos of herself! Vain, much, lol!) Plus a couple of apps from Fisher Price that she is able to navigate.<br /><br />I have adjusted the settings up the wazzu to keep her from being able to download or delete accidentally. I don't allow her to have it everyday so the novelty won't wear off, it's a treat.<br /><br />I look forward to your reviews of toddler apps! We could use some new ones!Tiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511522028218347560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-6742573217178015122013-03-13T01:37:18.342+08:002013-03-13T01:37:18.342+08:00My sister has an IPad and J uses it with no proble...My sister has an IPad and J uses it with no problem. He's used the apps on my phone plenty of times so I guess it was no problem for him there. I plan to get myself one. With all the kid apps out there and learning programs to check out, it would be a waste not to use it for him too. Can't pass up a good learning tool!Gillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231416156357445330noreply@blogger.com
