What Does A 3-6 Year Old Need Technology

Decent Essays
As everyone said there are negative and positive feelings about technology. Technology is a big part of society today with not only helping with connections with family members but also work events, school events/projects, and also extracurricular activities. As in saying this, I am a person with mixed feelings, I do not believe a 3-6 year old needs technology. A positive side of it is, it does help connect with relatives that live halfway around the world or even a couple of states away and it also helps with school projects and maybe organizing work conventions and appointments.

    Those devices are horrible for a child’s early development due to how they don't necessarily teach much other than how to tap and type, which you would obviously learn later in school. Instead, you could learn how to climb a tree, find certain berries, and even how to interact with others in the real world. In fact, I always hear about how today’s youth are much more incapable with surviving on their own or just having proper “street-smarts.” It is like all of this technology is only infecting the youth population, instead of helping…

Some people think it is great for kids to surround themselves with technology and the internet but research show that that is not the case. Kids think the internet is a great place but really there are inappropriate photos, videos, games, and websites. Kids should most definitely not have technology because it affects their health/ abilities, it does not give them a chance to just be kids, and it can cause cyberbullying.…

    I don’t think technology is bad. Just like with math, you are taught the basics, the fundamentals but there is always a way around to make things easier, i.e. calculators. Children need to be shown how to live life without some of the major technologies first before they use it. Don’t just allow your child to sit inside all day and play video games. Don’t allow your teenager to just send text messages, make…

    Both parties benefit. Early childhood programs should have more conferences with the parents where they can discuss more about technology and how is affecting the way they bond with their children. Teachers should make this conference to encourage parents to spend more time with them instead of letting them spend most of their time on a tablet or smartphones. They can also have a workshop once a week for both parent and child where they can teach the parent activities that they can do at home with their children, activities that will help them communicate better with them. Also, if the child is having any difficulty staying away from any kind of technology this workshop can teach the parents how to keep them away by doing activities with them, like going to the zoo or park.…
