Beware
H aving your baby
watch videos or
apps that proclaim
to teach them how to count
and read will not make them
into prodigies. In fact, they
may be very harmful to brain
development.
The American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends that
children younger than 2
avoid screen media. Compa
nies such as Fisher-Price and
Open Solutions make elabo
rate claims of their educa
tional value, but there is no
evidence to prove their
claims.
The Campaign for a Com
mercial-Free Childhood filed
a complaint against Baby
Einstein, which ultimately
offered refunds to consumers
who bought the products. In
2011, the company that pro
duced “Your Baby Can Read”
agreed to settle charges of
false advertising with the
Federal Trade Commission.
There is no substitute for
creative playtime or interac-
of shows, apps when teaching children

tion with a caring adult. In a
longitudinal study by Gor
don Wells, it was found that
the most powerful activity in
the early years is reading to
your babies and toddlers. But
he also found that the inter
action, the conversation you
have with your children is
even more important.
Remember the movie
“Three Men and a Baby”?
Tom Selleck read the sports
page to the baby.
Those evening dinners
when each member of the
family joins in conversation
have been found to be most
conducive to promote liter
acy, language and learning.
Emailing and texting are
part of my life, and I can see
myself being addicted to the
apps, especially the word
games. I have to set limits be
cause time seems to fly by
when I start a game. And I
have such good books to
read!
Except for Gordon’s study,
information for this article
was gleaned from a New
York Times article on Aug. 8
called “Children’s Advocacy
Group Fault Learning Apps
for Babies.”
Pat Chiarelli has a Ph. D. in liter
acy, language, and learning and has
been teaching children and adults for
over 30 years. She is a regular colum
nist for the Tribune & Georgian. If

cepting applications for its
fall leadership program. All
high school students
whether attending Camden
County High School, pri
vate or home school are el
igible to apply to this free
leadership program.
The purpose of the 13-
week leadership program is
to train students in leader
ship techniques, col

community awareness. Stu

workforce.
To graduate for YELP,
students are required to
participate in volunteer op

projects, and put together a
professional portfolio.

meet from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
every Tuesday except
school holidays at the Col
lege of Coastal Georgia,
room 107. YELP starts
Tuesday, Sept. 10, and the
application deadline is
Tuesday, Sept. 3.
“This is a much needed
program and well received
in this community. It has
been delightful to work
with the students who come
from a variety of back
grounds. The curriculum
includes many skills that
will continue to support
our community and future
leaders. I am looking for
ward to volunteering again
in the fall,” said Mary
Womack, one of the pro
