We love the LeapFrog DVD series and now itвЂ™s all accessible on online streamingД«ernie: Online, yea. And we as parents have to be diligent in making sure that, you know, balance is maintained and that we are monitoring the content that they are looking at, and things like that.ДЄnnie: Definitely. So, I would say that, yes, they have benefitted from the technology, it has been helpful, but I agree that there is a flipside to it. And then they would watch the show, and then I would have flash cards, and I would be like, you know, quizzing them here and there. So we had a Leap Frog, what is it called? The Letter Factory and they watched that and they learned their letters quite quickly because of that show. Well when they were little, they watched a DVD, it was a Leap Frog Learning called Letter FactoryвЂ¦Д«ernie: That was as far as technology went, right?Д®mirick: Well yea, that was, that was the thing back then. ItвЂ™s like, has your children benefited from the technology now?Д®mirick: I think so. And I feel like heвЂ™s probably like three now and probably on the fourth book of Harry Potter. And he read his first 100 words at fourteen months. So nine, twelve, and fifteen.Д«ernie: Ok so, I know a mom, she put her baby in front of one of those, what do you call those? Those baby can read videos on the iPad everyday and let him play with educational apps since he was little. My seven year old is my son and the three old is my darling little daughter.Д«ernie: Oh, ok, and Amrick, you got, you have a teenager, right?Д®mirick: I do! I have a fifteen year old and I haveвЂ¦I have a teenager and a вЂњtweenagerвЂќ and one who thinks heвЂ™s a teenager but heвЂ™s got a long way to go. I have a seven year old and a three year old. How are you, my girlfriends?Д«ernie: So, first of all, Annie this is the first time on board with Tired Moms, and you have two kids, right?ДЄnnie: Yes I do. Joining me today are Emirick, mother of three boys from Monteclaire, California and Annie Canete, mother of two from Jacksonville, Florida. Ok so many of us are letting tech, guilty of letting technology babysit our children, raising my hand, I am one of them, but are we aware of what children, of what our children, are watching? Are we controlling what kind of content they are exposed to? LetвЂ™s ask other moms. When asked if they often use their tech gadgets to effectively babysit their children, keep them occupied so the parents didnвЂ™t have to, the majority, 58% said that they did while 25% admitted that it depended on the situation. How many of you moms do that?ДЄ recent study was conducted my polled 2,403 American parents of children ages two to thirteen 27% of respondents said that they allow kids to access tech devices on a daily basis, 22% on a weekly basis, and 19% said they do it occasionally, 18% said they rarely did, and 15% said never, and they probably live on some remote island without wifi. I have a toddler, I have a job, I have church duties, and sometimes, I just need my toddler to stay still while IвЂ™m making dinner, doing the dishes, checking my email, and so I sometimes let the T.V., sometimes iPad, babysit him. If (document.Bernie Rosquites: YouвЂ™re listening to Faith and Family, a Christian family community that aims to promote Christian values. Even my husband and older daughter loves playing with it. I bought this for my son a few weeks ago and he enjoys hearing the songs. The voice is not terrible and I like how there are different modes. My 2 yo daughter likes this, sheвЂ™s interested in the alphabet and likes music. Certainly one of the better thought out toys! Recommend My 15 month old really enjoys all of the different modes (there are an impressive amount of modes) and Love that it can help him develop a musical ear.
