We are teaching my 2 great granddaughters to read, make right choices in games, etc on their own ipads. One will be 3 on the 19th and the other one will be 4 on Feb. 29. We can not get over how smart these toddlers are and how eager they are to learn. Their ipads have books, games, etc on them and each iPad has a plastic carrying case with handles on it. They know how to turn it on, find whatever they want to do at the time and turn it off when they are done. They know how to take care of each one, too. That is very important and my daughter taught them how to do that on hers. They would want hers every time she had it out. They have been around them for about 2 years.

Technically (remember... I'm just a cook, with recipes that work).. their brains are very plastic at this time. The magic years are before 7. They just absorb information and integrate it in a way that takes your breath away.

And good for you. Keep giving them the training they can take and want. It will last a lifetime.

MIT has a bunch of on-line lectures on this kind of stuff under AI (of all things). It's on YouTube(tm). They get into dendritic structures &ct.... but bottom line is kids are plastic early, and everything you can teach them sticks, and either integrates now, or later.
