While most parents cringe at the thought of letting their kids use gadgets and other hand-held devices, I guiltlessly let my sons play their iPad.
Working at home as a writer with no fulltime help, iPad is one of the best things to my existence. I used to ban gadgets during travel but now, it comes in handy when you want 15 more minutes in bed at a fancy hotel.
I think it depends on the guidelines you give to your kids – and stick to it. So far, my kids and I are in zen when it comes to their iPad usage.
Likewise, I’m sort of semi-homeschooling my preschooler. While he plays, socialize with other kids, and do crafts at school, I am introducing him to reading and writing at home. Interactive and educational apps are one of my tools. So far, I love the educational apps from KIDS ACADEMY.
I discovered these apps since April and so far so good. Liam, my preschooler loves his “study time”. I would like to share to you their three apps that I personally use with Liam.
We first started with this app. Basic reading and writing. Click here to download.
And interactive workbook to test your little learner. The apps are very user-friendly, your child can easily navigate. It goes without saying that you have to “play” the apps first for a few times with your child before letting him do it on his own. Click here to download this app.
We just started with this app. Number tracing is more than developing motor skills but letting him recognize the digits- visually and orally. We love the games. Much more, the Parent Mode – every app should have a parent control/mode feature. Here is the link for download.
We’ve been using Kids Academy for a few months now and you’ll surely love these apps as much as we do. If you are looking for new educational apps for your child, download them all now!
Thanks for reading!
