Portable electronic devices have found their use inside our homes, workplaces, and even schools. At this point, the younger generation is more tech-savvy than its predecessors. With the constant advancements in technology, this trend isn’t going to slow down. There are now more ways than ever to keep your child occupied in an educational format. It is never wise to use one of these devices as the replacement for human contact or real 1 on 1 parenting. However, there are some benefits to having educational material used often by your growing child.
Lingo Kids
A very popular app on the Apple app store roster. Lingo focuses on teaching the alphabet, new words, and new topics. This fun and effective app is great for children between the ages of 2 & 8 years old and is free.
Simply Piano
Having children start playing music at a young age is essential if they plan on being competent performers by the time they reach high school. Some learning methods can have a very immature take on beginner music. These methods can really turn both parents and children alike away from much of this material, and sometimes music in general. This app is different, it’s simple and effective for anyone of any age who is attempting to learn music as a new skill. This is a great app if you are a parent looking to have fun learning something new along with your child.
