Did you get to see the Youtube video of a 1 year old trying to use a magazine like an ipad? To some it might be cute, but I found it a little bit scary.
I know that technology is all around us, and I also know that it is really useful. My personal view is that really young ones don’t need to be using it. From everything I have read, children under two shouldn’t be exposed to any screen time whatsoever. This includes computers, phones, tablets, handheld games, dvds and even television.
I live in a household where many of these things do exist and it is hard to minimise any active or passive exposure to them, especially the television. . .
It’s official – there are no babies in my household! My youngest son is out of nappies and is officially a big boy. 
Both of my son’s birthdays are approaching. It’s an exciting time for them and me. However, I am always mindful of what is appropriate as far as a party is concerned.
After seeing many of his classmates gummy grins for most of the year, my five year old is finally one of the crowd with the loss of his first milk tooth.
Now that spring has well and truly sprung, let’s hope it’s the end of the tummy bugs, flu and colds that have plagued many families over the winter months.
