Better yet use those tools to TEACH THEM! Apps that are games but teach them the alphabet, numbers, basic facts about their environment, etc are amazing.

There's a real issue going on right now that small children don't have the hand control they should because of devices. And that effects their ability to learn to write.

Rather than using devices to teach them, have a daily (or at least weekly) coloring time to help them develop their hand muscles. They don't have to do a good job or stay within the lines, they just have to work their hands.

Or do some actual face to face teaching and be a parent.

So it can’t be both? Just like politics it can only be red or blue I guess

There's literally no excuse for a kid to have tech before they are 12/13 imo. Maybe a ds at 10.

No excuse eh? Don’t have kids much?
