It bother me a lot lately thinking about whether it is suitable or not to introduce children to play with many gadgets (I-Pad, I-Phone, and others) because children's brain are so sensitive and so fast to absorb everything. I wonder whether it will train children negatively if we introduce gadgets too early….My main concern will be whether children will think that everything are simply games and it will develop a cold heart? This will at the end of the day will create a negative impact….for children and their parents…
I am not a parent yet so I guess I wouldn't find it out whether the result will be positive or negative to allow children (0 to 7) years old to play with gadgets….Anyone can share their ideas with me what their opinions about this topic?

Hi, as a mother, i am eager to find the answer to that question too. I, as a child, was grown up without the invasion of many electronic gadgets. I treasure the pure happiness i received from my intimate contact with nature when I was a child. But my son seems to be growing in quite a different world. He is born those stuffs. Shall I drag him out from the context he is familiar with and put him to my childhood environment, or Shall I let him be in his world? Anyway, the world is developing as such. How could we live away with it except moving forward with occassional worries about the uncertainties awaiting for us.
