Giving iPads to 5 year olds might sound like a good idea...unless you ever RAISED a 5 year old...


A better idea might be to give the parents vouchers to get them. Funny how Jr. is less likely to LOSE or BREAK something Daddy bought for them.


OOpps I used the V-word again LOL!!1

Kids take care of things? Give me a break.

Also how difficult is it to teach 5 year olds? Are the complexities of letters, numbers, shapes, and colors just to much for one person? What ever happened to flash cards, puzzles, finger paints, cut and paste activities, stickers etc?

I wonder what the life expectancy of one of these devices is in the hands of your average five year old.

It is an updated version of “cut and paste” which I considered nothing more than busy work when my kids were that age.
