One thing I think is very important is for my girls to use and be comfortable with computers. Besides the fact that computers are part of our daily lives.. they offer great opportunities for learning and having fun. The Internet has so many cool websites with neat games (educational and just-for-funs). Aidan can now use it BY HERSELF! I ran across a toddler website www.kneebouncers.com. It is the easiest way to teach a kid to use a mouse. Yesterday, I showed Aidan the site and very soon she was using the mouse like a pro. (okay...maybe a little slower) So, we then went to Starfall.com (our favorite website but until now I've always had to manipulate the mouse while she sits on my lap) and while I was busy... she figured out how to double click and drag and how to go into other files on my desktop. LOL
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?
This means that for those special occasions when I want Miss Thing out of my hair and I want her to "do school"... I can sit her down in front of the computer... AND NOT HAVE TO DO IT WITH HER.... !!!!
One more thing she can do independently!
WHOO HOO!
And of course it means she can now do things like online coloring books and fun stuff like that... as well as surf through files she doesn't belong in.
He He
Just Kidding!

we also start our kids very early on the computer, Kayiah does well, we explained to her not to click anything she doesn't know or if something happens to call me right away and so far she hasn't strayed from where she should be. We told her somethings on the computer are not for her and could be dangerous. Its imperative they learn computer skills, but the internet is scary when you have little ones
