Ipad for children


     With the development of technology, there are many high technology products coming out. Ipad is a product of Apple Company, and children like it very much. Ipad, with its amount of games, can expand intelligence and is popular among children. The parents also like ipad because it can help them to let children calm down when they are busy. However, ipad also can lead children’s health getting worse while bringing happiness. What I want to talk about is that children should be controlled in playing ipad.
     Ipad can harm children’s eyes often they play ipad all day. Nowadays the children’s eyesight is getting worse because of electronic screens. Children’s arms are shorter than the adults, so the distance between their eyes and the screen is smaller. If children play ipad for a long time, their eyes will be itchy and tired. And then, if they didn’t have a rest, their eyesight would decrease silently. My little brother---who is a crazy fan of ipad, his eyesight dropped down very fast since my uncle sent him an ipad, and the degree of his glasses is deeper than mine. That’s also one reason why I choose this topic. I think ipad can harm one’s sight deeply.
Ipad can also take a lot of children’s time to play games. As a result, children’s study will be influenced and become worse. Here is an example for my friend’s sister. His little sister is a primary school student, and her grades were perfect. However, her grades fell down since she got an ipad. She only played ipad after school instead of doing homework. And then, she lost her interest in studying. Although her parents forbid it, she played ipad; she always plays ipad without any permission. It is clear that ipad can cause children’s bad hobby and affect their normal life.

Children also may keep away from their friends because they just play with ipad. When people sit down in a restaurant, someone even prefer play phones to have a chat.
       In conclusion, I think ipad leads a bad influence to children. It can hurt their eyes, impact their study and keep away from their friends. To control children playing ipad or other electronic devices is necessary now, and I hope children can have a good environment to grow up. The environment should be healthy and helpful. I believe that parents should control the time that children play and let them hang out more and play with friends.

  1. Hi Will!Thank u for choosing this topic since I also worry that electronics will cause hurt for children. In my experience, the most negative impact is that electronics will make kids depart from society and only live in their own word. It may bring a lot of social diseases, such as loneliness and autism. By: Eva

    Yes, I think many people need to get away from their electronic devices. They are useful additions to our lives, but they should not take over our lives. The life of a child should be spent in the interaction with people to socialize them properly. The cost of this technology is not only in the monetary price, but the cost of our time with people in real life.
