My computer entertained my yougest granddaughter

Child and parent relationships are harmonious. I also feel good when joking with both parents, and spend time together to have fun.

I did when my kids still toddlers. Especially when the weather bad outside and we couldn't take a walk or play outside. Now they are into that nook tablet for reading. My dad once told me that little kids sometimes like cats, they can play hours with simply cardboard box. Hahaha, and they do. Especially box that big enough for them to get in .

Although I never had kids of my own, I have observed kids that were using computers from a very young age. My brothers both had their young children knowing how to turn on a computer and get into certain programs by the time they were three and they were playing educational games by that time. It is a great way to get them interested in the world by showing them videos or learning games where they can see letters or numbers to go along with the pictures so they actually learn something. I know when I had that family living with me last year, their five year old was doing some games on my computer and learning a little about reading. That was an advantage to her because she didn't have the exposure to computers before she was living with me so it was not good for her. I hope that all kids are able to have that kind of opportunity in the near future. Have a great week!!!

Congratulations for being a grand parent. Children like being with grand parents. This was the case even long before televisions and radios were invented. Tell them stories, sing songs for them...and they lough their heads oooofffff...they learn something about their culture...great...what schools cannot teach them.

It's cute your granddaughter loved animal photos and videos. She can learn so much about animals through them. If you go on youtube, you could find episodes of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and such if you want further computer entertainment. Bubbles and balloons are every entertaining for little ones.

I happened to see my friend using his tablet to keep his kid occupied during a church meeting. His kid was sitting beside him using the tablet for games and viewing educational kids video shows (however, it is without sound only pictures). Through the whole session of the meeting, his kid was so engrossed with it and did not make a little noise.

I think most children loves watch computer and loves to see photos and videos.

My two year old grand has taken over the laptop at her house. There is alot of cute things on the computer for them. She is a huge mickey mouse fan.

Yes, I did this once with my eldest grand daughter. She was about the same age and a bit clingy to her mother. It really worked and distracted her until her mother returned. A good introduction too to the computer

Kids today are being amused with computers, laptop,tablets,cellphones and ipad. Almost all of the gadgets. I admit I bought my daughter a tablet for her to use, and now she knows how to read. She started reading when she turned 3. Thanks for the applications, it really helped my daughter in her education.

My brother and sister-in-law barely allow their children to use the computer at all and so when they come over to my house, one of the things that they want to do the most is that they want me to put the computer on games that they like to play and that is something that I will gladly do for them. I am not trying to use the computer as a baby sitter, but I do know that the computer is something that does give them a lot of enrichment.

I know a few people who do this whether it's while babysitting or with their own kids. It keeps their minds busy, and not thinking of other things.

Hi friend, good to know that you used computer for baby sitting. Most of the time my wife will teach my son using her computer. Kids can learn lessons easily while using computer and they will learn the lessons with their full interest while seeing the videos, picture and listening the music
