Now she carries it around with her, much like I do, and I’ve white-listed a few other selections into her FreeTime profile. When I opened it, she willingly set down the picture books, scrolled through the selections, and listened to me read aloud 10 chapters of Ariel’s Birthday Surprise before bed. They know exactly what it is, and are excited to read, too. After all, my kids see me reading on my Kindle much more than they see me toting giant hardcovers around the house. So it was less surprising than it might have been to find that the Kindle Kids Edition helped her get into reading longer books.
Even our local library has tablets available for children in the lobby. We order Halloween costumes on my laptop. She watches Wishenpoof! on a Fire tablet for kids at the doctor’s office and asks me to look up what sloths eat on my phone. My almost 5-year-old now uses a Portal to call her grandparents. But screens are so ubiquitous that it’s sometimes hard for me to grasp how thoroughly they’ve infiltrated my kids’ lives. Like most parents, I try to limit my kid’s screen time.
