Eye Strain & Kiddos on Computers -- Great Question!

I had a parent ask a very interesting question about kiddos using computers and eyestrain. Although I did not find research that specifically answered the question, I did find this link that I thought was both helpful and informative. The parents of my students are VERY smart! They keep me on my toes! :)

Computer Literacy boosts IQ

According to the Pediatrics, Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics (June 2004), “Computers boost preschoolers’ intelligence. Children with ready access to computers scored an average of 12 points higher on IQ tests, and preschoolers with computers scored twice as high on motor skills.”
