They are 5 and 7 and they both have their own ipads.. My 7 year old nephew even has his own mobile phone which he is not allowed to take to school, nor the ipad but once he comes back home, he is free to use them. He is really smart for his age thanks to these kinds of technology.. Just imagine, a 7 year old kids chats with me everyday on blackberry messenger or viber or whatsapp.. He has a laptop as well which means he can type very well and text like a pro...There is nothing wrong in giving them stuff if the parents can afford it.
