[blparent] Technology with toddlers

[Star Gazer]

Michael, 
Do what feels right to you. What I do and what others do is not relivant. 
My daughter was showing me how to play this guitar she had, and she very
patiently said "now, Mommy, you click it". 
Interesting terminology. 
There are no right answers to your question.

Subject: [blparent] Technology with toddlers

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?
