Trying to type a quick e-mail with my 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son can be quite a feat... obviously they want to have a go and are attracted to any image, music and animation. If they sense that I'm deep in the text world which is so boring for them I do get crayons tipped on me, climbed on and sneaky attempts to pull the power from the laptop from my son. It seems that more than half an hour actually looking at the screen, even flatscreen has a square eyes effect on my daughter. She says she is tired, rubs her eyes and seems a little lost and disconnected. I would usually prefer them to play outdoors, do baking, crafts, dance, etc than to be plugged in but it does have it's benefits. On a rainy day when you run out of ideas, you tube... look helicopter take off!
