By using computers children could learn new skills and parents learn more knowledge about early childhood development than those who do not own one.Owning a computer especially if loaded with educational software with interactive base of learning is like providing your kids with many books. Letting your kids play computer games could help develop their fine motor skills and reaction time. And, by accessing the internet, parents could read articles and e-books about parenting making them more effective in helping the development of their kids.
Let’s not compare the traditional approach of learning with computer-based learning in teaching young children intellectual skills or make it as replacement for traditional activities. Let’s make it an additional learning opportunity for children to learn new things instead. Human interaction with parents, teacher and other kids is essential for kids to learn more so as letting them have physical interactions with objects such as blocks, sand, finger paints, and other learning materials.
