PS our son is coming up to three years, any suggestions for a good app to keep him quiet for a couple of hours on his iphone? Cost is not important.

My daughter is just 7 and handles her second iphone with great responsibility, after the accident with the first one, which was not entirely her fault (she very nearly jumped into the turbulent sea after it as our yacht almost broached in heavy seas), we decided she needed at least two, one for home and one for the boat and possibly another for the holiday home in Bulgaria, they have been a great asset to us and probably a good deal cheaper than a babysitter.

@no thinks buying an iPhone for your 4-12 year old is totally unacceptable but shooting someone in the face perfectly acceptable. Sums up his mentality really.

Cram for the iPhone is also an option. It uses multiple choice testing AND digital flashcards to help prepare students for various types of test material.

Gotta tell you that Buddy the Bus and Children’s Classics are both not free anymore….. They cost .99 cents. As for thinking that if your child has an iphone, they should be shot in the face, you obviously don’t have children.

I have a grown son and yes technology is great…But i see it everyday children
are not being taught human relationships how to share get along listen talk things
out why talk when you can tech message. Remember like all new toys I call them
it is about big business not human beings and that is why so many kids are killing
and doing some really awful things. The human connection is gone.

Thanks for these great apps! It is difficult to search through everything in the iStore for children apps and this really helped.

Anyone who gets their child an iphone should be shot.There are cheaper phones out there for children,and shoving what they want in their face just spoils them rotten.

I’m 15 and I WORK for my stuff.I have a part time job, and £5 a month pocket money.Yeah,i don’t earn much,and no,i have not got an ipod.I have my mothers 10 year old hand-me-down cell.I pay for 1/3 of my school uniform costs as well.I like it when you work because once you get something,you feel like you DESERVE it.Anyone under 12 who is with an adult 25/8 shouldn’t have a cell anyways.

A lot of people think it’s obnoxious that my 9 year old has an iPhone, but we didn’t exactly go out and get one for her. We had the original phones. Then my husband bought the updated versions, so we hooked one of the older ones up for my daughter. My ex and I are divorced, and my daughter is involved in many activities. It’s a great way for her to stay in touch with me. She has had it over a year and not lost it. She’s a very responsible kid.

Don’t worry Ian, I think your okay with your 3 year old. ‘No’ only specified that 4-12 year olds should require you being shot in the face. We have one in the oven and I will be trying to get him playing with iphones, laptops and other techy gadgets asap!

@no, completely unnecessary comment and you are probably not a parent. As a parent of a 5 and 3yr old, I load a number of these applications on my iPhone, and often share time with them to use them.
ABC Animals, Adventure, Flash Cards, various memory games.
My 3 year old has worked out touchPhysics and even use of levers!!
Also if you look at primary schools, they are now adopting iPod Touch devices in the classroom to enhance learning.

“an app that every iPhone/iPod toting student should own, and every parent encourage.”

If you buy an iPhone for your 4-12 year old, you should be shot in the face.
