My wife and I were both initially hesitant to purchase an iPad for our 3-year-old daughter, Loriene. Our reason, primarily, is that she's too young to own the gadget. We were worried that it would take time away from more important things such as regular afternoon naps and play.
But the inevitable happened when, last Friday, upon arriving at her lola's house, we were surprised to see her two cousins playing with their own iPads. And yes, we fell into the trap of peer pressure. So the following day, Loriene got her own iPad, complete with all the essential Apps and accessories.
This decision gave us time to re-consider our thoughts about giving her an iPad. We know she's smart and is now able to follow instructions so it's just a matter of implementing the proper rules on its use.
We've set a reasonable time for her to play with her iPad, during which she can browse through her favorite Barbie and Hello Kitty Apps.
She can also learn the alphabet, numbers, and basic colors while at the same time having fun taking wacky photos of herself in between breaks.
