Benefits of Computers for Young Children

Young children are usually drawn to colourful and animated pictures/games on the computer. This is a huge advantage for parents and teachers because it can be used to teach children important topics such as:

• typing the alphabet 
• numbers and basic math such as addition and subtraction 
• reading 
• music 
• spelling
• geography 

There are many tools available on-line such as eBooks, games, video clips, etc... that can keep the children entertained while teaching them valuable material. Computers also come with parental controls that allow the parent or guardian to set time limits and protect little ones from inappropriate content making the Internet a safe place for young children.
