I echo all of the above too.....same with my kids (4&6), we have limited them on the pc/i pad/tablet as they will watch cartoons for hours on end if you let them. They were both navigating web pages at 2-3. Scary and amazing in the same senseSo much wasted time more like Mo!!! ffs. Kids don't realise it's more fun doing than just taking pictures of whats happening. GET INVOLVED FFS!!! It's one of the most annoying things about going to Museums. It's a pet hate of the wife and I. People taking pictures of oil paintings that are 100's of years old and not even looking at them or studying them properly.....but hey, I have the picture to look at, and now all my friends can see I am looking at the Mona Lisa...how cool am I....you are a fukkin douche, that's what you are lol. It's frightening to see a 2 year old navigating around an ipad. We have now laid down rules and he only gets ipad/tv for a shortwhile in the morning before breakfast, and then no TV or anything like that until after 5pm.
yes ha ha ha, not funny when you see your kids do that. Both my girls I have seen do it time to time. I am guilty some times letting them occupy themselves with it so there is quiet time. Horrible habit . Yeah was just telling a friend same thing other day. We used to haul ass and go build shit, build forts, build tree houses, build camps, build skate ramps, build half pipes.... and not some shanty shit. And we were outside all day everyday if we could be. different generation......Absolutely mate, if you let em they will sit like zombies eh. He use to grab the ipad and have Thomas the Tank playing while he played with his Thomas train set....RIGHT, ENOUGH OF THAT SHIT lol......time to build his own imagination. Not sure about you guys, but from an early age I just grabbed my jacket and ran out the house....normally until my Mum was shouting me back in because it was dark!!!
