Kids and computer!! ATENTION !!!

It depends on the use of it.. computers will be never dangerous to anyone untill he/she tries to make wrong use of it.. moreover..it would be good if ur child is interested in computer...it can become his future..as with me... let him do what he want...but stop him if he is limited to some games everyday.. let him explore the computer world.. [b]Keep lotting....keep earning.... byee..[/b]

I thought computers should supplement,not replace,educational activities such as art,books,music,outdoor exploration,dramatic play and socializing with other children. Parents should guide children's use of computers. Be on hand to help your child,answer questions and interact with him as he works on the computer. Take the time to observe your child at the computer and participate in computer activities with him. Observing children working at a computer can reveal a lot about the way they think and solve problems. Encourage your child to work with a sibling or friend at the computer whenever possible.Using computers with others encourages important social skills,such as turn-taking and cooperation,and helps build your child's ability to speak and listen.

I guess it is very dangerous without proper guidance from the parents. The internet has uncontrollable obscene pictures and sites on it nowadays, some sites morbid too which may affect the growth and development of a child psychologically, physically , emotionally and religiously. Children of below the legal age should be properly educated and guided with the proper use of the computer.

yeah, in my opinion, i think it is dangerous. you can find a lot of useful information in the internet, as well as harmful ones. being in the philippines, we cant connect to the internet unless we sign up for it through the phoneline. so it's up to the household leader if he gets an internet connection or not. most of the children here are very much hooked up on online games and social networking sites. it kinda annoys me a bit to see my younger sister very busy updating her site or something instead of hitting the books! well, at least reviewing her notes. (if she even has one.) @_@ but then again, it all really depends on the upbringing of the parents. i think the traditional ways of education and play are better than the technology nowadays. even though you put in a lot of effort, it's all worth it after all that has been done. ^_^ PS. dont forget to rate and comment! thanks! ^_^ happy MYLOTTING! =)

Computer is part of the life now a days. And we all know that there is a lot of info and others that we can get here. That is nice that your child knows how to use it but as a parent you should dicipline your kids of the schedule of using of computer. As well as know the things your childs doing on the net. There are a lots a dangerous things in the net that your child may encounter without you. So just be friendly to your child and love the things he/she is doing on net.

Hi marianna, computers are really doing half the good to people to an extent since because you get benefited in either way to get the core. Its still not so good to get addicted under 15 years of age.

Personally I see it as a good thing that can turn bad and when it comes to kids it is up to parents to oversee the usage and what is being done on the computer. None of our children have used a computer before the age of 13 and we also oversee what they are doing and how long they are on it. The computer they use isnt on during the day at all, they are either doing things outside, chores, sports or just hanging around. In the end it is really up to the parents how much a child is on and what a kids is allowed to get away with.

Hi, computers can be dangerous for everybody if somebody use to many hours per day in front of this screen. The computer is the best way to keep in contact with all world, is a great for information, to learn, to see, to hear. But can be our bad enamy too, in special for kids, who can broken eyes, minds and body if they spent to much in a front of a computer.

Hi, with the advancement of technology nowadays it is very common to have computers at home. As for kids, it is good also to let them exposed to this technology, to let them learn and gain knowledge from it and from the internet. However, i think we should limit the usage of computer for our kids. As we know, kids, especially in their teenage years, are not matured enough to think or distinguish which are good and which are bad. Thus, proper parenting and advice is very important to guide them through and encourage the proper usage of computer to gain knowledge, but not to explore those bad or harmful things in internet. With the proper usage of computer, it is of course a good thing for our kids to explore and get updated with lots of information and news in our society.

Hi, Well I think as coins have two sides technologies will also have its bad sides but it depends on us how we are making use of it. Particularly in the case of computer it is good for education and through computer one can gain instant knowledge globally. There should be some time bounds for using computer. Continuous usage of computer can harm childrens in many ways. it is our responsibility to make them aware of these thing. I think 20-30 minutes constant use is fine followed by some breaks otherwise it can have sever effect on eyes. So computer to some extent is fine. Well Happy Mylotting.

Now, I can see the kids who use computer are getting younger and younger. Even in our home, we have 2 5-year-old kids and they use the computer almost every day. They have become addicted to computer games. What we do is we limit the number of hours they used on the computer. We also make it a point to be there when they use the computer. In that way we can safeguard them from seeing things that can be harmful to them.

I feel that kids under 15 should spend less time on computer and more on physical activities and studies. If they use the computer in a meaningful way that helps in gaining knowledge, gives insite into their studies then it is fine. But if they wander in internet and waste time in chatting and other unwanted activities, it is time to take a serious look into it.

i am a teen so i know everything.computer is toxin as no, so step aside because the children further from computer will normally exceed from fun in the dependence.sry for my bad english
