[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also to the *cant concentrate crack*.  My son when he first started st had a horrible time focus on tasks for long periods.  One thing we worked on was getting him prek ready by teaching him to sit at a table and work.  We really didnt see improvement in that regard until she introduced the iPad.    [/quote]

Read some of the considerable body of literature about the effects of TV on kids.  Yes, they are concentrating, but that's b/c of the images.  Good luck trying to get your kid to concentrate on anything not on a screen.  You know, like an actual book or a worksheet.  You're kidding yourself if you don't think phones, iPads or other gadgets aren't screen time - they are.[/quote]

Well like I said upthread, we had great success getting my sn son to sit and attend to tasks for longer periods through the use of his therapist's iPad.  Circle time went from being a nightmare of my having to constantly re seat him every 30 seconds to, according to his prek teacher this year, his favorite activity.

Thanks for wishing us luck on that, though.  It was a really nice gesture.
