5 Reasons You Should not Give IPads to Small Kids
4. Kills concentration power
Researches have proved that too much sensory stimulation, whether from loud music, TV, or the internet can damage kids’ ability to concentrate. Such distractions can even have negative impact on a child’s behavior. So, kids are best advised to minimize or avoid using such gadgets.
5. Leads to poor imagination and creative skills
Kids who turn out to be imaginative and creative in the future get inspiration from real time activities. They need to get in touch with nature, listen to stories, and engage themselves in crafts and drawing instead of spending time in front of gadgets. When gadgets like iPads show them everything including the characters, landscape, sounds and other visual and audio details in a story that is being told, they do not have to imagine anything. Hence, their brain works less and consequently their imaginative power decreases.
In brief, for a child’s better physical and mental development, gadgets like iPads should be avoided. Kids especially below the age of 5 should grow by reading and imagining things. By digitization of childhood, today’s kids are losing some great experiences. So, let us not allow it to happen!
