Limit Time on the Net
The toddler and preschool years are perfect for introducing children to the internet. They take to technology easily. However, they should not spend too much time online. The best sites for little surfers are those that suggest offline activities to do.
Evaluate the Site
Some sites for toddlers and preschoolers are too slow or too difficult for little ones. The games often require an ability to use the mouse that is hard for children. If the site loads slowly, be prepared to do something else while you wait. Say a fingerplay or sing a song.
Play Online With Your Child
Never put a toddler or preschooler on the net to play alone. This should be a parent-child activity. Sit with your child and play together. Talk to them about the activities you are doing...and soon get off the computer and play elsewhere.
