My little 2.5 DD has figured out the mouse on the computer... She has her own computer since she has had a fascination with them and Uncle is a computer geek so he made her one. She also can pick out her own movies and either play them on her computer or on the T.V. I am giving her free reign at this time. She seems pretty balanced on her own initiative. She loves Starfall and Lions to Go. She also likes to take a blank page and type words such as her name, her sister's name etc. She also has a hand me down IPOD. She usually only had access to the IPOD on the long car trips that are daily due to where I live. In the morning she is watching about 20 minutes of a dvd - something like Letter Factory or Word Factory or signing and again in the evening usually while I am making dinner. She plays on the computer on and off. She also does a lot of imaginative play with plastic animals and people. She loves to play with a tea set. So it seems ok. She is probably doing around 1 1/2 hours of electronics per day.... a lot of which happen in the car. More than my ideal idea of raising a child. It seems that she can do things with the computer that her hands will not allow yet..such as writing the letters. I'm just wondering what others think and any advice from experience.
