Why they are similar? Post 1: Technology and television for babies and toddlers Arthur, N.(2010,June 1).Technology and television for babies and toddlers. retrieved from http://web.a.ebscohost.com.libproxy.unitec.ac.nz post 2: Is technology good for little kids Rosen,M.Is technology good for little kids?.

These posts are similar because they both mentioned that too much technology can cause toddlers to be obese later in life and also struggle to pay attention. The first post says that children get influenced to eat unhealthy food when they constantly see commercials on TV and this will lead to obesity, I believe this is true because I can relate, whenever I watch television it’s always junk food that’s advertised and it makes me crave for it. Both posts mention that children under two years old should not be on technology at all because they don’t benefit from it, I agree with this, toddlers under two should just be bonding with their parents and playing with other kids, by doing this they will understand more about life through their own experience and will be more active, if they don’t move around and constantly sit for long hours with devices that could also lead to obesity. According to Post two, researchers checked up on children until they were teenager’s and they found that the children who had watched educational TV instead of entertainment TV got better grades in school because they cared more about achieving and they read more books. This shows that technology can be good if children use it for educational purposes, I think parents need to make sure they check what their children are watching.

Why they are different? Post 1: Generation ipad: Could device hurt toddler’s development? ABC News (2013) Generation ipad: Could device hurt toddlers development?. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrQhmcPrhFw Post 2: Does technology hinder or help toddlers learning? Roxby,P.(2013,April 19)Does technology hinder or help toddlers learning?. Retrieved from http://www.bbc.com/news/health-22219881 These posts are different because in post one a mother decided took away her children’s screen devices for a month to see how they act within that time and straight away her three children were playing, socialising and arguing with each other, Another test was also done on different children to see how distracted they get when they are on technology, a teacher gave four children ipad’s in then called out their names and asked them questions but neither of them replied back but when she took the ipad’s away from them they were able to play with toys and socialise at the same time. I feel like this would convince parents to take away their children’s devices but I think that’s unnecessary because technology can be educational if parents limited how long their children can spend time on it. Post two advices parents to not worry and that it’s good for toddlers to interact with the screen because it will help them learn faster and they will make fewer mistakes. I agree with this because it would convince parents to think more about the positive impacts technology have on toddlers as media is mainly focused on the negatives nowadays.

Children, and even babies, are entranced by screens. More kids' apps and games are launched every day. But how will playing on a smartphone or tablet affect your child?

I think this article suggests good time limits that children should spend on technology in a day, it says toddlers should only spend fifteen to twenty minutes and older children just one or two hours. This article also mentions that parents shouldn’t watch TV while feeding their babies because they will get too distracted and overeat ,if that constantly happens they may become overweight as they grow up due to bad eating habits.

The Center for Toddler Development at Barnard College tested toddlers for “distractability” by calling the names of children playing with iPads and seeing what happened. Researchers found that many of the kids were so zoned in that they didn’t respond to their names at all.

This shows that when kids spent too much time on technology their vocabulary won’t be good and they will have lower social and emotional skills compared to kids that don’t spend much time on it.

Rosemary Church talks with author Patti Wollman Summers on child development and technology.

A positive thing about technology I agree with from this video is that children can learn at their own pace, they can watch the same videos as many times as they want or pause it so they can view it longer until they have fully understood.

I like this picture of two girls building a castle because while doing this the girls will be socializing with each other and learning teamwork, they will also be thinking of what size and shape of blocks to use so that the castle remains standing.

Although there seems to be many negative things from toddlers using technology, there also positives,it can be very educational if used in the right way. This website gives advice and app suggestions for kids at different ages. One recommendation for 2 to three year olds is parents an download eReader for stortytime.

I believe it is expectations to another level and unnecessary that parents are pressuring teachers to educate children on how to send emails and create PowerPoint presentations, more parents are wanting this to happen because they think the earlier children start using technology, the better it is for them. according to this article this is actually not true.

I think this quote will give people a good understanding that toddlers are not going to be toddlers forever! Encourage them to learn through play so they can be more enthusiastic and not antisocial

This article reminds me of how free I was as a child, always playing outside with other kids and learning from my mistakes , now as a teenager when think of my childhood there is so many funny stories I can tell , It taught me to be responsible and control my behaviour. Sadly, Kids in this generation will not think of their childhood as the best time of their lives and when they grow up they will struggle with self-regulation because of too much technology. Stress should not be felt as a toddler but it happens when their watching TV or they accidently end up on a video that shows violence , this is because their body is not aware that it’s not real.

This article Is great because it points out some issues technology can have on toddlers, such as obesity and attention deficit disorder, and then the article gives useful ideas of how librarians can be involved to prevent these issues.

Parents don’t need to completely disallow their kids from using technology, they just need to make sure that their kids are socializing more because kids learn better through experience. Shirael Pollack says “Keep the iPad for times of learning, and to encourage your child to connect with you”.

Busy parents with young kids love the iPad, but what is it doing to kids' brains?

This video this shows proof of how technology negatively affects kids. A few children were on iPad’s at the same time and a teacher spoke to them to get their attention but none of them replied back, they were all too distracted, but when the teacher took the ipad’s away they were more social and creative. If kids are getting distracted by technology on a daily basis at that age it makes me think how badly it will affect them when their older.

I think that Parents should sometimes sit next to their toddlers when their using technology and help them learn by repeating whatever they saw on the screen instead of just giving them their phone or iPad for the sake of keeping them quiet so they can do other work, their child should be their priority. This will teach toddlers to multitask and they will also bond with their parents.

Should parents worry if pre-school children love fiddling with their smart phone? Recent research suggests touch screens suit the way children interact with the world and could benefit learning.

I like this because An assistant professor in human development and family studies named Heather Kirkorian said “"Kids who are interacting with the screen get better much faster, make fewer mistakes and learn faster”. This convinces me that technology can be good for toddlers because learnings things fast is important and very beneficial for them in the future as they won’t struggle to understand things for too long.

Your child is clamoring to get her hands on your cell phone or iPad so she can play games?or learn her letters.

Experts are worried that spending too much time on technology will have a negative impact on toddlers as they grow up because studies have linked this to obesity, dull imagination, aggression, struggling to concentrate and also make friends.
