On one hand, I see kids throw complete tantrums out in public until their parents give them their iPads, and I don't want that for our kids. My parents didn't let me use my gameboy at the dinner table, for example- but I see that happening all the time at restaurants where if the parents deny the kid their iPad they'll start crying or screaming at dinner.
I'm torn because on one hand I want to encourage curiosity and allow for the educational usage of them, but on the other I'm concerned about what it will do to their attention spans and ability to cope with life and their emotions without it.
Parents of HN, do you let your kids use an iPad? At what age? How often? For what purpose? No matter your answer, how do you feel that has turned out for you and your family?
