You did good not buying the tablet ofr $200 for Shaunsito because he’ll break it or lose interest soon after. As much fun as they look, children will get tired of it in a week. I bought Matthew a Laugh & Learn Smart Screen Laptop and I only spent $25 and he got tired of it in a month, but I didn’t feel bad because I didn’t spend that much money on it.
Now I rather to find online game and let him play on my computer under my supervision.
I am all for toddlers playing with technology however I’m with you they need to earn it. I’d rather share mine than pay 200 for another gadget. Mylittle ones are 1&2 and are great with the iPhone and computer. My only concern if they get their own is how addicting devices like smart phones and tablets are. My husband disagrees he feels if wehad the money to splurge the kids would have An iPad to share.
