we did the exact same thing with our 4 year old son. he’s super adept at using the iphone and has even become really interested in photography by using the camera function. all in all, i think it’s a pretty awesome idea….until i try to take it away and he acts like a junkie. :)

We have to balance out what we give to a child. Technology is useful if used correctly and at the correct level. However, nothing beats face to face interaction. Just do not forget that element.

Okay “Mason,” Just because Kathy is absolutely right and you are jealous because you are wrong 100% of the time does not mean you can reply to her comment and make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Stop hating. Contrary to your beliefs, every comment is NOT bad until YOU try and “fix” it. And capitilization isn’t grammar. It’s capitilization.

Once again, make some sense. She made no such connection that a phone kills all social interaction.

AND STOP HATING EVERYONE BUT YOURSELF!!!

Before you attack me for being ignorant and whatever else your devious mind is planning…actually think about what I said.

Keep the peace.

Oh yeah, I’m not a hippie. But people don’t deserve your crap. Okay?

By the way, Mason, who is really starting to make me sick, it’s you’re, not your. So if you are going to correct people every 5 seconds maybe you should correct them well. You see, everyone makes mistakes, even you!

Who are you to correct EVERYONE? A school teacher? At first I thought it was nice, “Hey, someone is trying to teach people grammar.” But over and over seeing coments from “Mason” being sarastic and mean…don’t you have anything better to do than correct people? How about corrrecting yourself.

To me this is just stupid, Theres teens and adults that don’t have cellphones/iphones and here a little 3 year old gets one. I think you shuld just find better ways to take care of kids than tv/internet/phones/cell phones/ect. they aren’t cheap and 3? You can barely talk!

Like many other educations devices like LeapFrog and VTech, I’d expect that this will be a phase for her too. With my son, I limited how long he can play it a day because I am one of those mothers that insists he plays outside with friends as much as he does on the PlayStation or Nintendo DS. I don’t see the harm in her playing the educational games she can get in a toy store on her dad’s old iPhone. I don’t see the difference in the two devices other than the stereotype of it being the iPhone.

I don’t think that you have too much to worry about with your daughter. As long as you regulate her time with it and make sure it does not consume her life, then everything will be o.k. At first it may be hard because it is a new toy to her, but eventually she’ll lose interest or move onto the next toy. Good luck
