Preface with none of this post is supposed to sound pretentious! Every child develops at their own rate and is different I know.
Friend has made a comment about my child’s iPad use after I mentioned they had one. They have iMessage on it and it’s set up with various family members and it’s monitored. She is able to read and type messages with no issue at all, I’m actually very impressed with their reading. Can read fluently unless a word is particularly difficult. They are 6. My friend thinks this is a bit much screen usage for a 6 year old.
Friends child is the same age and does struggle with reading. Her parents have very high responsibility jobs and work late so their child spends her time playing with toys a lot which is lovely, she has a great imagination and creative personality. But AIBU to think that my DDs iPad use has actually contributed to her reading skills? I think she is being a bit precious to judge what I let my child do but in reality it has played a huge part in her learning? To mention my child doesn’t spend all day on their iPad
It just seems a bit judgey to me when in reality it has helped my child academically
