Children start playing with electronic devices earlier and earlier

As my mother says, today's babies are born by pressing buttons.

At three, my little girl already knows how to call and put movies on the DVD, and the baby is already training her fingers with the TV remote.

I am not surprised at all the result of a study conducted by a consultant that has revealed that Children start using electronic devices at 6.7 years old when before it was at 8.1.

According to the report of The NPD Group, portable video game consoles are the favorite gadget of children, with an adoption rate of 39%, followed by portable CD players (30%), desktop consoles (29%) and televisions ( 28%)

Electronic devices are part of their daily lives, they are common objects for them, and of course, children are a reflection of what they see in their parents.

Therefore, adults are responsible for our children to acquire healthy habits. If mom is stuck to the computer all day and dad to the Play Station, it is very likely that the boy or girl will follow the same model.

That is why, like everything else, in its right measure. Electronic devices are part of life but should not monopolize our life or that of our children. There are also parks, sports and lots of things to do outdoors.
