can i be really HONEST with you...
I am a computer teacher, and my kids play educational games. I child should not play computer games up to the age 6. let me tell you why
When a child is sitting in front of the computer he/she doesn't really move at all. A child up to the age of 6 needs to move around as much as possible so that he/ she can train and develop all muscles and joints in his/her body. When a child is less mobile he/she will have a good change having learning difficulties. Even thought he child is learning online, or through games. IF a child has not moved enough and develop his muscles and joints properly ...reading and maths will be very difficult. I teach children with learning difficulty and have to let them crawl, roll and climb often as they haven't done it enough when they where under 6. Now they are low muscle tone...and that is one of the biggest problems. Even tv. sitting on the couch...not moving lowers the development of their muscles. PARENTS....PLEASE let your children play in the garden, play in sandpits, craw, run draw, don't complain if your child is so active!! He needs to be so when he learns he can cope better. Alot of children these days need to go for OT. Why, not enough movement...not enough coordination skills.....
Play ball with your children
Let them play in the sand
Let them build blocks
let them play in the bath
Let them run around like crazy
ITS all good for them...
Wait till they after 6 or completely. A running around child, an active child is a healthy child.....You ever wonder why our children are getting more and more fat, lazy, inactive, DEPRESSED, socially awkward, struggles at school....
