Hi there, apologies if this has been discussed before or somewhere else
As parents I am sure you are aware that if you have a an iPad, tablet or phone etc in the house it can be a great tool to "entertain" your child. I can also appreciate that there are applications on there that can be very educational and aid learning for children of all ages.
My question is where do you draw the line? Is this the future of where children learn there basic skills if you like, or is it better to just stick with a pack of building blocks? I am not one sided on this either I see the advantages of both and I suppose the general answer is to just get the balance right. But do we really want children to get into the habit of being stuck in front of a screen and being anti social at such young ages?
