Hello Lee & all other folks reading this article.

I highly recommend you google:

Magda Havas, an American Professor from a University who has studied
this situation at length.

On her site she offers all sorts of safe ways to interact w/ all the electronic screens etc. that are now in every home, in mulitples!

What I love about her research is that many of the ways that we are
living with these electronic devices is totally unsafe for us as adults but with little ones and children it is completely unsafe! Example: children and little ones should never place cell phones to their ears as their skull is not fully formed and the radiation from the phone penetrates much more so than with an adult skull. Also see the book: Zapped by Louise Gittelman. Easy to remember! Knowledge is Power. Lets not have our families be guinea pigs for these billion dollar co.’s that do not give us safety brochures with these devices for our families safe use. Magda Havas’s site does!

I love the idea of no devices and just play more outside. . . there is no comparison when you envision both!

Sounds great! Hope the article helps convince your husband 🙂

Hi Robin,

There haven’t been conclusive findings yet that I’m aware of. The general consensus is that toddlers and preschools learn best through real life play and hands on exploration, and that screen use is highly habit forming.
