Toddlers’ Favorite Toy – The iPhone

October 18th, 2010 Print

Cute little thumbs pounding away at an iPhone or BlackBerry has become a common site.

The Times has an article on how more parents are allowing their children to watch videos and play games on their smartphones.

The benefits are obvious – the gadgets are a great way to keep the kids busy and out of our hair. Critics will argue, though, that spending large amounts of time on iPhones and the like will limit childrens’ creative and social development.

Do you allow your  kids to play with your phone?

    I allow my child to play when we are waiting for Doc appointments or stuck in traffic. Like with any video game I time the play sessions.
