[quote=Anonymous]I think TV is actually worse in isolating the viewer from others. I do like many of the Math iPhone and iPad games. My DD's favorite feature on her phone is the camera, a few card type games, and a few silly ones. I don't see a difference between her playing battleship with her friend on a phone as opposed to pulling out the old style board game. They are doing the same thing and both together. I impose limits and restrict the device but I've always let my kids choose their toys. Yes, this meant that I had to cringe while DD picked out the princess barbie rather than the cool looking abacus. (DD did grow out of princesses and is a math whiz even without the abacus.) Its just my opinion but there's not much gained forcing lifestyle choices kids and I'd rather them make independent choices. [/quote]
