Is is healthy for a two years old child to play with an Ipad?
25 فبراير 2013

Usually the use of TV and video games (including ipad) is not recommended before the age of 2 because children are too young to understand the images and get educational values and this may harm their development.

After the age of 2, it is better to limit the use of all media (TV internet video games ) to 2 hours per day, and always under the supervision of an adult to control the quality of what the child is watching and bring useful explanation when needed.

The use of interactive games on tablets seems to be less harmful than passive watching of TV or videos, so it is ok for a 2 years old child to play with an ipad as long as this is not exclusive, and leaves time to other physical activity ( outdoor activities) and time for oral communication and interaction with parents.
