It is impressive the interest shown by children in computers, surely when they see you sitting at the computer, they try to put their hands on the keyboard or on the screen, you will even have taught them how to use the mouse.
But the question of many parents is, At what age can you start using the computer?. The recommended age for your child to start in this world is from 2-3 years, depending on their level of development and maturity.
You will be surprised by the skill and ease with which you drive once you know him, even more than many adults, but it is normal, since he was born, he is immersed in new technologies, and surely he will have already started using the TV controls , the dvd or the mobile.
Children face the computer without fear, the opposite happens to an adult who starts, in addition to their eagerness to explore and investigate, it helps them learn easily. Real computers are more useful than toy imitations, but we must be present and monitor our child's access to cables and plugs. We must teach you to familiarize yourself with its handling and you will be able to verify that it is another instrument of play and learning.
At this age, it is most appropriate for you to perform activities through a cd-room, so that you work without an internet connection. But if you wish, there are many websites that offer activities for children such as cutting, painting, stories, songs ...
It is an ideal time to enjoy with your child something that will excite you, although you have to take into account the exposure time in front of the computer, because the view can get tired. We must also ensure that they do not isolate themselves, that they do not abandon other manual, creative and movement activities, let alone replace them with games with other children.
This learning empowers our child with many capacities, such as attention, concentration, memory, decision making, the development of fine motor skills, etc., in addition to introducing himself naturally to the complex world of computing.
