Baby Care

Posts Tagged ‘children’

That’s not far off vacation season. And many parents are beginning to ask themselves the question: how to spend it? What’s better: a short flight or a long trip by train? Let’s study everything together.

Vacation with children: age

Regarding age, most pediatricians have expressed the concern that up to 3 years of age it is better to avoid any long-distance travel. Of course, this does not mean that the child should spend summer in the gassy city. If there is an opportunity to make frequent raids on the nearby cottage, it would be ideal. In any case, before deciding to go on vacation with your child, consult with your doctor. It will assess the health of your child and give you the answer whether he/she is ready to travel or you have to wait.

Vacation with children: Where to go?

It is generally accepted that the smaller the child, the more he/she needs in its usual environment. Yalta, Anapa has always been considered the most suitable for children.

The climate of Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Baltic countries and, in principle, other European countries can also be good for young travelers. With regard to such favorite place as Turkey, it’s better to go in such hot countries with small children no later than in May.

Vacation with children: Acclimatization

It is important to know that if you decide to leave with the child to a country involving the change of climate, then the vacation should last no less than a month. The point is that during the sudden change of environment children need some time for acclimatization, which in some cases may take up to 10 days. During acclimatization there can be a slight stomach upset, cough and runny nose, fever.

Vacation with children: Transport

What kind of transport to choose for the trip – plane, train or car – every parent decides for himself, based on many factors, including financial capability. No doubt that plane will be the best choice as the kids do not have to shake a few days in the stuffy train. But experts urge to bear in mind that flights are usually accompanied by strong burden for the ears, which often provokes the occurrence of otitis among children.

If your child is sick on the road, consult with your doctor about the possibility of using special medications.

In the first days after arrival organize for your child a sparing treatment. Do not overload the child’s emotions and experiences, keep in mind that the sleep is the best tool to recover after a difficult and expensive deal with acclimatization.

Being in the sun in the first few days should not exceed 3 – 5 minutes. Do not also forget that the safest sun is in the morning (before 11.00) and in the evening (after 17.00) hours.

Vacation with children: other important points

Choosing the place for vocation with the child needs special sensitivity. One of the main conditions is the existence of a special children diet menu. Choose a hotel located on the first line, as close as possible to the sea. With regard to the beach, it is better to choose on the sand, with a sloping entrance to the water. Pay attention to the hotel’s infrastructure (playground, children’s pool, animation).

The room must have a refrigerator, air conditioning, comfortable beds for children. Remember that unusual food (especially in the context of climate change) may cause stomach upset. In any case, take with you some food for the kid.

Keep in mind, that you should never use water from the tap.

It is better to take more things than to detect that something is missing. Children’s clothes will not take much space. Take warm clothes, in case of sudden cooling.

If you are still using diapers, it is better to take them with you.

Wet wipes would be of invaluable assistance on the road, and on the beach.

Do not forget special cream and powder for children’s sensitive skin.

Always take with you such things as a ball, inflatable mattress, swimming circle and all the necessary medicines. These are:

• thermometer;
• remedy for burns;
• febrifuge;
• activated carbon;
• bandage and cotton wool;
• plaster, iodine, hydrogen peroxide;
• drops for the nose;
• special protective cream against insects.

As the flu virus is easily transmitted by airborne droplets, it is very probable that your child will catch it.
Flu starts with, like the most of other infectious diseases, with lung ailments. Then the condition is deteriorating rapidly: strong headache starts, pains in muscle and joints, increasing body temperature, a general weakness. A little later, dry cough starts, pain in the chest when breathing, sneezing and running nose. If the immunity is strong enough, a few days later a full breakdown of these manifestations is gradually decreasing, but the symptoms completely disappear no sooner than after 7-10 days. But this is not a full recovery – the body will be weakened by infection recuperates at least a month later.

The flu is more dangerous than it seems. Most people tend to underestimate the risk of influenza. However, this disease is not always developed in the way as was described above. Because of the severe influenza can happen disruption of the brain and internal organs, resulting in death after several days of onset. This form of influenza is known as hyper toxic. In addition, the disease is dangerous for its complications: pneumonia, brain or envelopes of the heart muscle.

This virus is particularly dangerous for children. Their immune system is very weak, and may not resist the infection. Therefore, the risk of severe influenza among young patients is much higher than among adults. According to studies, up to 70 percent of all health problems among children are associated with influenza and other ARI.

The risk group – children

In the high-risk group are the children living in big cities. This is due to several factors. First, virtually such children attend such places as kindergartens and schools. As influenza is transmitted by airborne droplets (when coughing, sneezing and talking), it spreads like lightning in such communities. If an ill child coughs in school, in a few days a large part of his/her classmates will have high temperature.

Second, air pollution in megapolis also can be a reason of influenza, especially the food, which is not always healthy and full. Often the child’s immune system is undermined by parents who inappropriately, without the recommendation of physicians give their children biologically active additives, antibiotics, adaptogens and other drugs.

There are preventative vaccinations to prevent the disease. They are really effective, but don’t help in all cases. This is due to the high variability of the virus – its antigens are constantly changing. Vaccines also contain only a limited set of antigens, and are effective only against viruses that contain them. In addition, vaccination is only for prevention, but if the disease has already developed, it should be treated.

However, we should remember that influenza is a virus, and not a bacteria. This means that the antibiotics can not combat it effectively.

One of its most important parts of antiviral immunity is interferons. These substances alter the functioning of cells in such a way that they become immune to the virus and are not involved in its reproduction. In addition, the activation of lymphocytes and macrophages immune cells occurs under the effect of them.

However, the organism is not always able to respond to the introduction of the virus. Especially if the child has an organism with reduced immunity.

Many people do things instinctively, obeying unknown origin arising impulses. Children also instinctively try to taste everything. However, watching attentively the habits and predilections for taste of our kids, sometimes we can understand what substances are not enough for proper development of the child.

Sometimes six to ten year old children, suddenly begin to pull in the mouth any stuff. And not just drag and purposefully look for but also eat some substance. This may be chalk, clay, coal, and head of the matches or land. Someone remembers how in the village at the grandmother he/she secretly ate plaster, someone digging in the depths of memory, discovers that being a child sometimes he/she licked watercolor paints with pleasure. All of them were sweet to the taste, but for some reason they chose red and orange.

Some of us keep the style, for example, eating chalk in adulthood. Accidentally meeting “brothers” of habit, these people seriously discuss the taste differences between different brands of chalk, and argue which chalk is tastier – crayons “Antoshka”, round chalk “Lanthanum” or mild Czech chalk “Kohinor”. Many women notice a passion to the chalk during pregnancy.

All these habits are not accidental. If you find your child’s habit to not quite normal “products”, this is an extra reason to think – whether the child eats with food, all the necessary substances for his/her development and growth?

The reason of “dependence on chalk” among children (and adults) can be different. But as a rule, children who secretly eat crayons from the blackboard, most likely need calcium. Because chalk is a natural source of calcium.
A child’ body, in fact, needs large amounts of calcium: 800mg per day for 1-3 years old children, 900-1000 mg for 4-6 years old children, 1100 mg – 7-10 years, 1200 mg – 11 years and older. Calcium is needed for normal development of bones, formation of healthy teeth and gums, as well as for the growth of muscles. Without calcium children quickly get tired and often sick. Calcium is also involved in many metabolic processes in the body, and its deficiency can lead to severe hormonal disorders.

The love to chalk can also be a side-symptom of anemia, or lack of hemoglobin. And then the body does not have enough iron. By the way, all the iron oxides are brown or reddish – remember about the red water-color paint? According to WHO, some 30% of the population of Earth suffers from iron deficiency in one form or another.

The most balanced set of vitamins and minerals, suitable for most children, has “Kaltsinova”. It contains calcium, phosphorus and vitamins A and D3, and B6 – all those elements, without which the normal human development is unthinkable.

Besides the obvious hazard and the potential toxicity of inedible objects, many useful substances, such as phosphorus, is very rare and little in food. Its deficiency can also be compute to predilections of taste, of course, adjusted for child’s love of sweets.

However, people who eat a lot of sweet can also have a problem – they simply do not have enough chrome. Chocolate lovers may feel instinctive shortage of magnesium. Similarly, children who like to nibble the head of matches may well compensate for the lack of sulfur and phosphorus, salt lovers – potassium and sodium, and if there is a sudden interest in the acid products – perhaps it is from lack of vitamin C. In any case, if you notice change in tastes or other gastronomic strangeness, above all, consult a doctor!

It is a duty of every young parent to take the child (or children) to walk every day, even in terrible weather as children waste their energy on the street.

Who are your allies on the playground?

A skinny mother on heels

Distinctive features of such a mother – light weight, skinny ass and heels. In especially severe cases she wears boots made of suede, and she goes to the sandbox to make a pancake in them.

Other mothers often wonder: can the skinny woman on heels quickly run up to her son/ daughter, if he/she, say, is falling from slides.
Apparently, it all depends on the stability of the heel and limber of the woman.

Mothers with phone

She comes to the ground, pushing a pram with one hand and holding the phone with another. If she needs to roll pram with both hands – she presses phone on shoulder or uses a headset.

By releasing her child to sandbox, she sits on the bench and continues to talk, looking somewhere without noticing that her child takes someone else’s toys, throws sand. When a mother with a phone, finally, notices that her baby dropped a couple of strangers in order to take their cars, she approaches, without leaving the phone aside and without interrupting the conversation.

Mother with beer

She comes with a bag of toys and pours them into the sandbox, and considers her mission in relation to the child is over. She takes beer and starts enjoying it just in the playground.
Periodically, she lights a cigarette, deftly identifying the wind direction, so that the smoke does not bear on her child, but on you and your children. Usually, she communicates with her girlfriend and loudly uses obscene words. You can make a remark, but it is just useless.

Women with twins

The one who has characteristic circles under the eyes is definitely a mother. The one who is older is grandmother. They always walk in pair and are mostly catching twins in different corners of the playground, so their system is completely closed and does not require the flow of information from the outside.

Mother of a glamorous girl

There is always a glamorous girl in the playground, and usually more than one. Pretty Princess comes to the walk in a smart dress; her shoes are equipped with red flashing lights, and clothes carefully combining shades of lilac and pink. Miss Piggi nervously smokes in the corner because of jealousy.

Mother of such a girl looks as if she has come just from the office between meetings with business partners.

Ideal Mother

She walks more with the child starting from early ages of his/her development. She always wears comfortable clothes. Her chils is child is too advanced, absorbs too much fresh air, she/he is far too patient, she has the perfect order of the house … She is never irritable and does not use violence.

Gentle woman with a baby

It is unclear why she comes to a playground with her baby in the pram-cot? It is clear that she wants to communicate. But the gentle woman always crinkles when older children shout or are running around, being afraid that they will wake her baby up.

Babysitter

Nurse is distinguished by comfortable dress – she first put a cap, her comfortable shoes and warm jacket. After all, she has to spend 3 hours outside so that the child could normally sleep, rather than read, draw, play games at home.

As the nurse is not full of maternal love, she clearly has time to look at surrounding mothers, who just don’t behave pedagogically.

Teaching a child to use a potty is a difficult task, requiring huge patience. Be careful and mellowness, bring in the child’s sense of self-confidence. It is essential that the child himself/herself will take the initiative. Education should be free of coercion, pressure or threats. If the baby is not ready for such an important step yet – stop trying, but after some time, please try again.
Willingness to teach to the potty on the physiological and intellectual level, the majority of children occurs at the age of 18 months (for girls a bit earlier). However, only at the age of 3, children can consciously control the bladder rectal and muscles (acts of defecation and urination).
There is an idea that the early teaching to the potty does not always leave good effect on the child’s psyche, the child may become caught and self-doubt.

The main grounds on which it is possible to understand the degree of readiness to teach the child to the potty:
Baby understands simple requests, can share his/her feelings:
for example, frustration over the wet and dirty diapers;

child can walk, sit;

can take off and wear shorts and pants;

the child’s chair has become a regular, soft, decorated;

child alone removes dirty or wet diapers;

can imitate the behavior;

wakes up dry after sleep or remain dry for at least 3-4 hours during the day;

shows interest in toilet bowls and potties, tries to sit on potty, or goes to the toilet.
Perhaps the baby can’t do anything listed above, but if your child makes even a few signs – begin to teach him/her to potty.

Starting training, remember that the success of every child should be encouraged.

How to help the kid?
Dress the child with cloths which can be easily removed.

You’d better have on hand sufficient number of spare pants, diapers, toilet paper and wet wipes for babies.
The potty should be convenient, stable and not cold. Place it in a conspicuous accessible place.

If your child remain drye at least 3-4 hours during the day, replace the usual diapers with special panties Huggies Pull-Ups ® for teaching to the potty.
Pull-Ups ® have special indicators that tell mothers that a little surprise has occurred. If the baby wakes up and comes back from a walk and images still have not disappeared – it’s time to put him/her on a potty. Mothers can quickly remove them when noticing that the kid wants to potty. Pull-Ups ® are easy and convenient; they do not limit the movements of the Child, and are especially comfortable for usage during the warm season. Panties look like real underwear.

Usually, the act of defecation occurs among babies almost at the same time. Put the child on the potty after breakfast – this time is the best. Remember that everything will be very difficult, but do not leave him/her on the potty more than 5-10 minutes.
Before making pants dirty, children usually are dissatisfied, distracted from their studies, focus, strain – suggest the potty to this point. Be patient and soon you and your child will succeed. Remember that your main task is to build a proper relationship to the child in the process of the toilet.

Everybody knows that in order to maintain teeth healthy, you need to clean your teeth after each meal with the exception of suckling babies. Breast milk contains enzymes which contribute to splitting of dental plaque, increasing the immunity of the mouth cavity and protecting the child’s body. As soon as the kid starts eating the “human” food, “cleaning teeth after each meal” becomes mandatory for him!

Another important remark: remember that bacteria contribute to the development of caries! It is very important not to lick the child’s objects (for example, trying porridge). And please try not to kiss the baby’s lips – you will save him/her from the risk of caries.

But these rules, of course, are not limited. Mothers have a lot of questions, and we have the answers.

1. Do I need to take care of the baby’s mouth cavity before cutting teeth?

Nowadays there are many different means of care of mouth cavity for kids. Pay attention to the special teas containing herbs in order to prevent early caries. You can also use traditional methods of cleaning teeth. The child will get used to the hygiene from his/her early childhood. In the beginning, use a latex brush. It is soft and safe for baby and convenient for parents.
Pay special attention to the choice of toothpaste for toddlers. It should be natural without strong and harmful flavorings. We recommend SPLAT Junior Toothpaste. Organic Aloe Vera Gel strengthens the gums. Active Calcium helps in the formation of solid enamel of children’s teeth.
Omega-3 fat acids are a source of Vitamin D3 which is helpful for better assimilation of calcium and minerals. The paste has a delicate taste of yogurt. Together with the tooth paste you can find latex brush as a gift.

2. How should the first toothbrush look?
It must have a very small head and a large handle. You can use nylon bristle. The main thing is that the bristles have rounded tips so they do not hurt gums.

3. To what pay attention when choosing children toothpaste?

Follow three simple rules.

Rule № 1: the active ingredients. They must have not only cleaning but also protective functions. Children’s toothpaste SPLAT junior contains calcium derived of the eggshell. It is perfectly assimilated, and helps in the formation of solid enamel.

Rule № 2: efficiency. The tooth paste should remove plaque from your child’s teeth, even if the child can’t clean his/her teeth thoroughly. Toothpaste SPLAT junior contains dairy enzymes that penetrate even into remote places.

Rule № 3: security. Make sure that the tooth paste doesn’t contain sugar. The use of lauryl sulphate in the tooth paste is also very harmful to child’s teeth, so try to find tooth paste without it. Tooth paste SPLAT junior is totally deprived of these ingredients, which means that they are not just good for teeth, but also safe for all children.

4. How to make child regularly clean his/her teeth? The older he becomes, the more reluctant to the bathroom.

Try to turn this process into a game. Take a “speaking” toothbrush. The package of the toothpaste should be too bright and so it can “talk” to the child.

A good example: toothpaste SPLAT Junior for children.

First, it immediately attracts the attention with the unusual packaging – a triangular box. For children from 3 to 8 years, four types of toothpaste have been developed: “North” with a taste of blueberries, “South” with a taste of citrus, “West” with a taste of peach and “East” with appetizing raspberry flavor.

On the packaging of toothpastes are painted bright pictures of animals from different continents – penguins, tortoises, koalas, and lemurs.
So do not be surprised if after these the child himself/herself will run to the bathroom to clean teeth. After all, he/she puts a part of his/her soul in the toothpaste.

5. I heard that there is special foam to clean teeth? Are they harmful to the baby?

Along with children’s toothpaste now is available children’s foam which takes care of the baby teeth more hygienically, conveniently and simply. This is a kind of alternative of tooth paste or rinse. Now you can find only foam SPLAT Junior. It does not require rinsing and splits plaque in contact with teeth.

The main active components of the SPLAT Junior series is brought from Japan as well as the main active ingredients in the paste and foam are dairy enzymes, calcium from the eggshell and the organic form of fluoride – OLAFLUR. This is the only tooth paste which takes into account the needs of the child age.

In summer, the questions of our children grow in a geometric progression: why the leaves of trees are green, how plants drink water, how volcanoes erupt, etc. To answer these questions will help elementary experiments that do not require special equipment: materials for them are always at hand (and sometimes – under the foot).
Our summer experiments are many. After all, when you comprehend the laws of nature on your own experience – they become closer and more intuitive.

Why leaves are green?

Here is the first question of your young biologist. And indeed – why they are green in summer and yellow in autumn?

Materials:
a piece of foil;
Scotch tape;
diluted alcohol;
cup with thin walls.

What should you do?

Take a leaf of any plant or tree and with the help of scotch tape attach a piece of foil which can be cut in the form of a star or a circle). A week later, you can see the result: an “image” on green leaves. In the place where foil was attached, where the light couldn’t penetrate, leaf has become yellow.

The green leaves have a special substance called chlorophyll. It captures solar energy. When autumn comes, when sun-light becomes less, leaves cannot “receive” feeding, they become yellow, and leaves fall, because they can not feed themselves. “And can we see this chlorophyll?”, – your child asks. You can!

What should you do?

For this experiment you need to put a green leaf with thin walls in the glass and fill it with diluted alcohol. Then, boil some water in a bowl and carefully put this cup in it (something like a water bath). After a while, get the help of tweezers. You’ll see an amazing transformation – the leaf has lost its color, but the alcohol became green, because it dissolves chlorophyll – the green pigment of plants.
By the way, if you conduct this experiment with edible plants (for example, salad or spinach), the result will be a natural coloring (dye) – it can be used to color the cream or sauce. The process can be accelerated, if you crush the leaves, and shake the glass from time to time.

How do the plants drink water?

Perhaps the child has cut some flowers and forgot to put them into water, they’ll fade very quickly as they need water. But to confirm this idea will help a beautiful experience.
Materials:
colored ink (red, blue, green);
several glasses (according to the number of colors);
a few white carnations or celery stalks.

What should you do?

In each cup you need to pour ink of one color, about two centimeters from the bottom. Add water. Flowers or celery stalks should be cut to a length that they are able to stand steadily in the glass. Now, leave them for four hours. What has happened? As always, a miracle: the flowers have become colored. If you look carefully, you can see a thin streak: water color painted them, so they become visible.
If you use celery stalk with flowers, you can make a cut on the stalk with a razor or a sharp knife. There will be visible points of color – they indicate the capillaries – the finest tubes in which water rises from the bottom up.

What is a volcano?

This question was raised my friend’s son after he saw the painting of “The Last Day of Pompeii”. Of course, you can tell that the volcano is formed in the earth’s crust above the magma. When the hot gas pressures on it, magma pushes upward, rocks molten on the road and the explosion erupts at the surface. But all these explanations are not very clear to the child. What if you show it?

Materials:
Plasticine;
one tablespoon of drinking soda (sodium hydro carbonate);
vinegar 3-9% – 40-50 ml;
a few drops of red food coloring (can be replaced with beetroot juice);
one tablespoon liquid for washing dishes.

What should you do?

First divide the available plasticine in halves: roll one half like a round pancake, and another – in a rectangle, which then collapse the cone with a small hole on top and connect it at the bottom of the “pancakes”. To verify the tightness, you should pour the water through the upper hole. The size of the cone should not be very large – 100-150 ml is enough.
Prepare “lava”: mix the liquid for washing dishes, dry soda and dye, pour all of this into the “throat of the volcano”. Now add vinegar. As a result, kickback with allocation of carbon dioxide will begin and what a miracle: boiling foam will come out from the throat.
At the same time, you can tell your child that this model is applied in very peaceful purposes – for example, in the kitchen when his/her mother mixes dough. It makes the dough luxuriant, forming bubbles and tracks. These make old friends – soda and vinegar.
As you can see – nothing is complicated! But how much joy, creativity and discovery…

Mothers often ask themselves this question. Only the child can give the answer. Some children need to sleep a lot, the others just vice versa. If the child is full, well-groomed full, sleeps in a cool room, you can let him/her decide how much to sleep. Most infants, if they are satisfied and their stomach works properly, sleep from feeding to feeding. But some children from the birth sleep for a very short time and not because something is disturbing them. You do not need to take any action.
The older the child becomes, the less he/she sleeps. Usually, the first waking period begins at about 4-5 o’clock in the evening. Each child has his/her sleep schedule. By the end of the first year of life, he/she will sleep 2 times a day. Then he/she will move to a one-time sleep. Only in infancy parents can be sure that the child sleeps as long as he/she wants. In 2 years the child is a complex human being. He/she may sleep less than his/her body demands, because of the excitement and anxiety for other reasons.

Falling asleep. It is advisable to accustom the child to the thought that he/she should sleep immediately after taking a meal. Some children like to play after meal. I will recommend trying to break this habit. Accustom the child to sleep in his bed.
Most children become accustomed both to silence and to moderate noise. Therefore there is no need to walk on tiptoe and whisper. This will only teach him/her to silence, and he/she will wake up from the unexpected sounds. If the child is accustomed to normal household sounds, you can safely take the guests in the next room, watch TV or listen to the radio. You can even enter the child’s room without wakening him/her up.

Children’s room is a very peculiar place.
Children’s furniture should be multifunctional and have the opportunity to “grow” with your child. Now the market offers a fairly large range of children’s furniture – tables and chairs – seat and backrest. As the diversity of interests of the child is difficult to predict, the children’s furniture-transformer will become the ideal solution. For example children’s table, this can be also a desk and an easel.
In general, children’s furniture should be:
Light – so that the child is able to move it easily;
Sustainable – a child can be quite awkward, but sustainable children’s furniture can protect him/her from injury;
ergonomic – ergonomic furniture for children will not allow him/her to obtain the curvature of the spine and other unpleasant diseases;
environmentally friendly – children’s furniture should fully comply with environmental standards that do not accidentally hurt the child;
comfortable – it is difficult to explain a child why he/she needs to sit here or there, so children’s comfortable furniture will make this task easier;
bright and beautiful – thanks to the fact that the child will like his/her furniture, he/she quickly learns to use it himself/herself and keep his/her belongings in order.

 
How to choose furniture for children which will conform to all requirements?
The bed is desirable to be a two-tier, even if you have one child. After removing the lower tier, the bottom can be used – from space to store toys, up to a romantic angle, with curtains which resemble a tent.
Children’s furniture for schoolchildren should not clutter the room, as well as for the child of this age it is important to have a place to play, to store things. Therefore, cases must be small and convenient. As has been already been mentioned above- it must attract the child, have a convenient shape, bright color, and be original. Instead of doors you can use curtains for children’s furniture and child will think that he/she hides things, and does not remove them. For toys, you can not use the shelves, but a chest, and once again cleaning will become a kind of game for your child.
Number of models of children’s furniture for schoolchildren on the market, allows you to create the interior of the room for all tastes – the main thing is that this is a room for a child and he/she must like spending time in it.

Disputes concerning the advantages and disadvantages of computer games are conducted at all social levels.

Scientists are conducting studies on the impact of computer games in person, children argue with parents, parents – with teachers, and so on.

We hope that the following facts will help you make the right choice.

Advantages
Computer games develop:

• fast reaction
• visual perception of objects
• memory and attention
• logical thinking
• visual-motor coordination

Computer games teach children to:

• classify and summarize
• analytical thinking in a non-standard situations
• achieve goals
• improve intellectual skills

The child, who relies on a computer from childhood, feels more confident because he is open to the world of modern technology.
Games on the computer develop the same skills, but the child is always easier attracted by the game than learning the alphabet, or numbers.
Playing computer games, the child gets into a magical fairy tale, where he gets his own world. This world is so similar to a real one.! When the heroes of the computer games offer the child to repair the wall of the house, or to arrange numbers in order to get to the treasure, the children feel important. And if at the end of the job he said “Well done, you have done excellent”, the child is delighted.
Well-drawn, funny and good children computer games are very interesting, smart, funny and focused so that the kids develop and improve their skills.

Disadvantages

The bad news is that with no schedule the computer turns from friend to enemy. Good games, that are so useful for children may become harmful to them.
Parents should remember that for every child there is a limitation on time: 3-4 years – the child may be at the computer for 25 minutes, in 5-6 years – 35 minutes, 7-8 – 40 minutes.
Sitting in front of a computer for too long may lead to poor vision, as well as the psychological dependence of a child from the virtual world.
