Name: swati kulkarni Country: india Comment: i agree to the views expressed by Latha and niteesh kulkarni. let the children learn on their own from outside world and then they themselves start investigating and asking about computers, and its uses and utilities. i think the environment and surrounding around is the best teacher. Name: nitesh kulkarni Country: australia Comment: I read Latha's comments with great interest. It actually made me stop and think... and what she says makes eminent sense. My daughter is 4 and can play all kinds of games on the computer, knows to shut it down, etc. etc. But she doesn't know to read. Before reading her views I actually clicked 3 as the age when computers could be introduced to kids. I think I am a little wiser now. There really is no hurry to introduce children to computers. Name: latha r Country: india Comment: When exactly did we learn to use computers? Did we struggle to familiarise ourselves with this development? Does it require great intelligence to learn to use the computer?

The fact is that it is far more crucial that our children learn to read well and learn to enjoy reading than learning to play games on the computer. The joint efforts of computer manufacturers and multimedia companies have conned us into believing that computers develop creativity. So your daughter paints on the computer... is she going to be a great artiste as a result of that experience. Computers can enter your child's world at any age... no age is too late... what is important that your child not lose out on language, reading and math skills!
