 Unlike some other areas of a child's growth, a parent should not treat computer use as a development milestone. There are no "shoulds" in this arena like "a child should walk by 15 months." The main point to keep in mind is that the online world offers children a new set of experiences, another world to explore. It is also a new resource to help satisfy a child's seemingly endless curiosity and find answers to those amazing questions with which kids constantly come up. Unlike some other areas of a child's growth, a parent should not treat computer use as a development milestone.

 Computers need not play much of a role in the youngest child's life. However, it doesn't hurt for very young children to see family members using computers and enjoying themselves online, at a library, at a community center, or at home. Computers need not play much of a role in the youngest child's life.

 At this time, stand-alone computers using CDs or DVDs or other software (rather than online activities) are most likely to have what children this age need. Parenting magazines and some nonprofit organizations publish reviews of software that may be helpful. At this time, stand-alone computers using CDs or DVDs or other software (rather than online activities) are most likely to have what children this age need.

 While serious computer use isn't a priority for these youngsters, children at this age can begin to make greater use of computer games and educational products. Children this age can look to CDs and DVDs and other computer software for early computer learning. Older children in this age group can also begin exploring online children's resources with parental or teacher supervision. This kind of exposure with a young child is a great way for a parent to get involved with new media. Children do learn intuitively and quickly, but at this age they still depend on parents for reading and interpreting directions. While serious computer use isn't a priority for these youngsters, children at this age can begin to make greater use of computer games and educational products.

 This age is when children can begin to directly experience and appreciate more fully the potential of online experiences. Children can begin to use online encyclopedias and download pictures and graphics for school reports. They can also begin to have pen pals from many places, exchanging stories with far-away relatives and online friends, and even doing shared school projects. It is also a very important age to set guidelines, teach values, and monitor closely what children are doing. This age is when children can begin to directly experience and appreciate more fully the potential of online experiences.

 As children move toward independence, it is important that you stay "hands-on" and help guide them to enriching and appropriate materials. Another important reality is that children of this age are being targeted by programmers and advertisers as an important commercial market. Media literacy--helping children evaluate content and understand what's behind advertising--is an important skill to teach. As children move toward independence, it is important that you stay "hands-on" and help guide them to enriching and appropriate materials.

 At this age, young people can use the more sophisticated research resources of the information superhighway, accessing everything from the Library of Congress' collection to magazines and newspapers to original letters and archives from around the globe. Similarly, they can work with people in remote places on shared projects and can learn from speaking online to leading authorities on nearly any subject. In addition, many young teenagers are interested in chatting and Facebook. Some online services have chat rooms that are appropriate for preteens and teenagers. There, kids can chat with others who share their interests. Parents and teachers need to stay in as close touch as possible (a tough task at times). At this age, young people can use the more sophisticated research resources of the information superhighway, accessing everything from the Library of Congress' collection to magazines and newspapers to original letters and archives from around the globe.
