While it is often characterised as being mainly for the teenager or young adult market, the computer games industry has a massive output which includes computer games for toddlers and many other age groups besides. The classic games which tend to come to mind when we think about computer games are often the violent games, sports games and driving games which take a lot of learning and skill; but there is a huge range of games aimed at younger minds, and lower skill levels, which will help educate and entertain the youngest family members. We have all grown up with fond memories of specific cartoon characters, television and film personalities who, while entertaining and educating us, seemed to be a part of our childhood; now a computer game may add to that repertoire of interests.
Many parents see computers as difficult and complicated things which require a mature mind and more skilled hand to comprehend and use. This may have been the case some years ago but with the advance of computer technology and software, access is possible for just about every age group and skill level. In fact it is often surprising, and somewhat daunting, to see a young child hardly able to write; but quite able to navigate their way through a computer game, using the controls and menu items to advance their way. It is worth considering that, at an early age, just about all activity, even entertainment, has a learning role. Games are an excellent way to learn a great many things for a young child; they help to develop and train their vocabulary or words, their reading skills, their hand and eye coordination, recognition, memory, problem solving skills, communication through sounds and words, and, of course, their ability to use, and be familiar with computer technology. Such a familiarity will set them up well for the future, which looks like it will be one full of such technology and user skills.
The days of television and film entertainment are not gone, nor are the physical toys such as dolls and trains and cars and board games which we all began with; but computer games for toddlers add another learning possibility for young children and are part of the technology age into which they have been born.
