My son is five years old and I love the way he treats technology. He handles my iPad like a pro, does interactive games on the TV, and loves to Google for toys with me. One of the things we often do together is watch pictures on Google images, for instance of planets, dinosaurs, or castles.
That’s why many of the facts in this infographic about the wired child and how tech kids these days grow up in a digital age resonated with me. I see my son do these things, know these things, and display an intuitive grasp of how digital technology works.
Luckily, he still also loves to play outside, climb in trees, and get all muddy and dirty. Boys should be boys after all.

If you have kids, do you recognize this with yours as well?

This makes TOTAL sense, and seeing how my four and six year olds use touch devices and navigate their desktop, it looks like they’re right on track! Great post, thanks, Rachel!
