We broke down and finally got an iPad... Our kids (almost 5 and almost 3) love it.. I limit screen time to about an hour per day (including telly). It is a hell of a lot of screen time for someone who watched one programme A WEEK as a preschooler.
Well, we have "educational" apps (say learning a morning routine) and storytelling stuff like "Nighty Night" (which is almost book-like as far as app games go). I am still in two minds about whether this is really educational for kids.
So, if you are on the "yes to apps" camp, what do you let your kids play with and how long? Do you think educational or storytelling apps are ok?
