[blparent] Technology with toddlers

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I would be afraid that my daughter, even at five years old, would damage 
someone else's Ipod or Iphone, so I would only want her to use it with the 
owner's consent and direct supervision.  However, I'm thinking of getting 
one of those kid-friendly tablets for her--Kulio, I think it's called.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Good day,
I know that I probably have a set a few of you on list with my parenting 
styles, however, it has made me think that I would really like to get the 
opinion of some of you other individuals. And, I kind of liked the ring of 
"technology, and toddlers", with the subject line.
My three-year-old son can pick up an iOS device and use it finding games on 
it, moving applications around, and even deleting applications. Obviously, 
the one thing is unable to do is install new applications, since he hasn't 
figured out how to enter a password. I would like to know what you guys have 
for an opinion of a three-year-old child using an iOS device such as an 
iPhone, or iPad. Do you guys allow your children at such ages to use your 
iOS devices? Or, do you guys wait until a little bit older? I would be very 
interested to find out what exactly you guys are doing at such young age. In 
addition, one thing I wanted to let you all know is if the phone dies, he 
puts it on the charger. And, he is also able to turn voiceover off whenever 
I use the device last. Finally, is charging the device when it dies, and 
knowing how to put the charger in the hole at the bottom, tells me that his 
mother allowed him to use iOS devices all a lot, when he was living with her 
up in Alaska. Thoughts?
