Thanks to modern advances in science and technology, babies from the cradle have the opportunity to explore the world without leaving home. Therefore, do not make the most common mistake of the parents: limit the child, allowing him to spend only ten to fifteen minutes a day on the computer.

Of course, it all depends on the age of the baby. But on average per day, you can sit on the monitor at least three or four times. In this case, you should clearly control what your child is doing so as not to damage his psyche.
Bloody wars and aggressive battles are unacceptable for minors.
Types of computer games for children
Source
Today, there are so many children's games that it is sometimes difficult for parents to choose a specific option. To make it easier to understand what to download, buy and install on a computer, first decide the purpose. Think about what is most important to you: distract the baby, help him develop a specific skill or teach him something new.
Adventure
This category of mini-games is a kind of cartoon in which children participate periodically. The main objective is to develop ingenuity and logical thinking. It should be noted that the older the player, the more difficult the levels and tasks. Therefore, choose a specific option based on the baby's age.
Simulators
This toy allows you to relax, relax and have a good time. But, unfortunately, it does not bring benefits. A simulator is a kind of imitation of a vehicle (motorcycle, airplane, car).
The main objective is to deliver the goods or drive without damage from point A to point B. Generally, a violation of traffic rules is allowed, which is already initially bad. Keep in mind that the child still does not understand that this is just a game, and takes everything that happens in all seriousness.
Logic
Find scattered objects, invent sentences from letters, solve crosswords: these mini-games are considered the most useful. Its use is recommended between three and four years, when the child already understands the meaning of many words.

I definitely agree computer use can be good... Unfortunately with our toddler the flaws out weight the benefits... He goes absolutely berserk when his time is up... :(
I'm hoping this improves when he's older...
