The limitations of electronic books

Technology is playing an ever-greater role in family life today. But for your child, nothing can beat a printed book, which he can touch, handle and explore any way he wants to.

Printed books provide more scope for interaction and sensory stimulation than their electronic versions. And even though children are strongly attracted to electronic tablets, it’s important to keep in mind that these are basically screens, just like a TV or computer. Th e amount of time children are exposed to these devices should therefore be limited.
