From an early age, children spend more time in front of screens than on any other activity, except sleep. Children learn from what they watch, and while some content is safe and educational, other content that isn?t age-appropriate can be harmful. As you know, parents need to be aware of the type of content their children watch while providing a fun environment where they can use technology to learn and grow.
I had the opportunity to review Kidobi- online video content provider for children ages 2 ? 6 that removes parents? guesswork by automatically generating customized video playlists, completely personalized to fit children’s learning needs and developmental stage. Since all the videos are pre-screened by educators and child development experts, parents are reassured of the age-appropriate, educational value.
I made two channels-one for my son, and the other for my daughter-my sons channel is designed around a 5 year old boy, and my daughters is designed around a 2 1/2 year old girl.
They truly enjoy this because it caters to their likes, and needs. When you create your child’s profile, Kidobi tailors the content to their personal interest. So for instance my son is into building right now, so I put that under his interests section. If your son likes cars, trains, dinosaurs, you simply add it to that section and they tailor it around those interests.
The nice thing about Kidobi is when the show is over you or your child can give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. If it’s a thumbs up Kidobi will continue to run shows that are similar in liking.
