Children's tablet is an assistant in the learning and development of your child. But this does not mean that with its purchase you can stop communicating with the child. Control during class is important and necessary so that the child feels your support and interest in his affairs. And if the tablet has access to the Internet, then control and assistance should be increased, despite the fact that, it would seem, the child understands everything himself.
Tablets have long ceased to be a luxury. Children are actively playing and practicing with them. This is convenient both for long trips and for excessive activity. Learning with a tablet for a child is more interesting than a traditional lesson with books and pens.
Which tablet is right for you?
When choosing a tablet model, you need to rely on its functionality and the age of your children.
- teaching - the device contains training programs for logic, thinking, the development of the child's fine motor skills, attention and many other qualities of the child. His memory is designed for training programs, that is, "heavy" games cannot be uploaded here, which is a plus for parents who are worried about the child's education;
- game - universal tablet. You can learn and play on it. A large amount of memory, drives and flash cards allow you to download many games and programs. They have access to the Internet, which allows you to play online games. The price of such a tablet is significantly different from the training one;
- for babies... Most often, these tablets have a minimal set of functions and buttons. When choosing, it is important to take into account the graphics - the brightness of the colors, the size of the image (at least 800x480). An important factor is shock resistance, because children often play on the go, or start fooling around during class, so this quality will help keep the gadget longer;
- for teenagers. Teenagers use full-fledged tablets - with Internet access, social networks, games, e-books and educational programs. It is important here to monitor what the child is doing on the World Wide Web and to protect him from negativity.
Prices vary by brand, memory size, resolution and features. The simplest tablet for kids from 2 years old costs between 3000-4000 rubles. For 5000-6000 you can find models of better quality, with more memory, vivid images and functionality.

Tips
For your own peace of mind and productive use of the tablet, it is important to consider the following:
- If the device has access to the Internet, then activate the "Parental Control" or "Safe Internet" service. Fortunately, children's tablets have such functions by default.
- Help learn. If you are asked to help, you do not need to be repulsed. Give the correct tactics, give a hint. It is not necessary to completely complete the task for the child, otherwise the child's interest will quickly disappear.
- The younger the child, the larger the elements on the screen should be and the clearer the picture.
- Track game time... Include a special time limit, and explain that it is not worth playing for a long time.
- If you are a thrifty parent, then do not forget that children are children, which means “broke”, “dropped”, “doused” will be present in any case. The younger the child, the stronger the tablet should be (shockproof, with a rubber bumper). But this does not mean that you need to buy something cheaper, because the quality and amount of memory of such equipment leaves much to be desired.
Modern children develop very quickly and easily master technical devices, be they phones, tablets or computers.
But for the tablet to become a real helper and not a pest, parents need to be careful about their choice and rely on requests, not forgetting about quality.
