Would you
agree with me when I say that in this digital world where our kids are growing
up, gadgets like tablets and smartphones are things we sometimes can't live a
day without? Their existence was influential in changing the
communication landscape globally and yes even how our children learn
progressively and aggressively about the outside world.
That's
why sometimes, we cannot resist exposing our children to it for more than one
reason. It could be for educational or entertainment purposes or sometimes
to keep them busy or quiet when we're outside eating in a restaurant.

Samsung KidsTime, A New Educational App for Kids

When I come home from work, I place my things on my
home office table, keep my mobile phone away, and give each of my sons a tight
hug and shower them with kisses. I’d
then change into comfortable clothes, get down on the floor to play Lego or UNO
cards, and read books to them. That’s
how I bond with my children.
Yes, I do keep the gadgets and mobile phones away
because I have an impression that these hamper them from a normal child
development. I’m also particular about
the games they play and especially fearful about the adult content they might
accidentally see from unwanted and bothering ads and making in-app purchases in
mobile apps. But I still do let them
play our phones and the tablet once in a while.
In fact, the older one has his own mobile phone. It’s just that their exposure time to gadgets
is regulated and highly supervised.
Sometimes, they just also won't stop once I give them these gadgets. They also lose focus of the real world and
boom, our communication stops.
That's why I see mobile applications as a
distraction. But it changed when I got invited
by Samsung to review their newest
educational app for kids called KidsTime.
Samsung KidsTime helps in managing and
improving child development. It has a number of features which I am thankful
for and I highly appreciate.
