11.You arrive on time at the Smith's house to babysit three-year-old Max.When Mrs.Smith invites you into the house,you find Max sitting on the floor with an iPad.You look around for a book,and then you realize the iPad is teaching him how to read through a series of songs and games.Mrs.Smith looks as though she couldn't be prouder of her son for playing such educational games.Technology is becoming more important in our everyday life.From playing a game to asking Sir for directions to a restaurant,we are depending heavily on our handheld device.Companies such as Fisher-Price and Open Solutions are making apps such as"Laugh and Learn","Baby Hear and Read"and"Baby's First Puzzle"These apps are marketed to parents and their babies.Some companies say that their apps will help the baby learn to read while others promise skills such as identifying shapes and sounds.Many parents say that these games have helped their children a lot.
Recently the campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood,a Boston-based group,has been accusing companies,who make these supposedly educational games,of false advertising.The campaign believes that these games are doing very little to improve the education of young children.
"What babies need for healthy brain development is active play,hand-on creative play and face-to-face interaction."says Susan Linn,the group's director.This means that when you are babysitting little Max,you should play board games with him or games that require him to use his own imagination.This will help him to learn not only skills that the games teach him,but he will learn social skills.The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with Linn,discouraging any electronic time for babies under 2,while older children should be limited to one to two hours a day.
