Let Your Kids Learn Basic Computer

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Worried about your kids how to handle the computer mouse and keyboard? Now a days kids do love computer games. As an active mommy, I see to it that my kids learn the proper way of using the computer. You can introduced your kids the use of computer by the age of 4, because at younger age kids are so adaptable, with enough use of computer, kids can learn it easily, so busy mommy’s no need to nurture your computer skills.

First, teach them how to use the mouse, and sit with them. Be sure that your mouse speed is slow so your kids will be more precise on using the mouse. And if you want, open the mouse and disable the right click to avoid the right click. Then teach them the basic on how to use the keyboard. Small kids do not have the hand span on touch typing, they only start formally working at keyboarding skills when they are in school. Only the enter key, arrow left, right, up and down key are most use as they play the games in the computer. And later, teach them the open and shutdown the pc properly.

Early kids using a computer learn more and more technique in handling the mouse the using the keyboard. Like my son he was only 3 years old when he started to play games, imagine he was playing “counter strike and gunbound” now that he became older he is now surfing the web and type the sites where he wants to play games. He even knows the computer troubleshooting by opening and shutdown the computer. And even master the keyboard keys, he easily learned how to read and spell words too. As for me teaching your kids early basic computer is a great help for us, specially for busy mommy’s
