I can't tell you how happy reading these words made me today: "Reading forges connections between parents and children... It's also good for little brains. But does the form in which the words appear matter? The
New York Times reports that parents — even those who are avid digital downloaders — are shunning kids' e-books for the real thing. It seems that the feel and texture of paper pages dappled with colorful illustrations trumps the static dimensions of a screen."
The above quote is from an article,
"Why Parents Still Want to Read Real Books, Not E-Books, to their Kids", from
TIME Magazine which is citing a New York Times report,
"For Their Children, Many E-book Fans Insist on Paper."The
TIME Magazine article also mentions two previously published pieces that parents of very young children should read before plopping their little ones in front of a television or handing them an iPad:
"Should You 2-Year-Old Be Using an iPad?" and
"'Educational T.V.' For Babies: It Doesn't Exist".
Hurray for books!
