If you need help figuring out how to work an electronic device, chances are you can just ask your toddler.
A fascinating article reports that "about 40 percent of 2- to 4-year-olds (and 10 percent of kids younger than that) have used a smartphone, tablet or video iPod, according to a new study by the nonprofit group Common Sense Media. Roughly 1 in 5 parents surveyed said they give their children these devices to keep them occupied while running errands."
It goes on to talk about to parents who do it:
"Denise Thevenot acknowledges that some people would look askance at the idea of giving a child a $600 device to play with -- she had the same concerns initially. Then she discovered the sheer potential.
" 'The iPad is movies, books and games all wrapped in one nice package,' says Thevenot, who works in the New Orleans tourism industry. The iPad, she says, keeps her 3-year-old son Frankie busy for hours. And, when needed, taking it away 'is the greatest punishment. ... He loves it that much.' "
