My 9 year old is growing up too fast. We set up a laptop for her today and she didn’t want to install GCompris or Ktuberling.
My 8yrs still tinker with Gcompris a little but mostly play with Scratch Jr, emulators and web games
how cute is that?!
I got my kid on Gcompris when she was 2.5 year old, and noticed a lot of rough edges UX wise. Small things on how feedback was given to a kid, or the lack of separation between games depending on how suitable they were for different ages.
Still, I choose Gcompris any day over apps design around maximizing endorphin rewards and data collection. I just wish there were more quality FOSS games for toddlers.
Hi, If you go to gcompris setting, at the bottom you can choose the difficuly level by setting stars quantities.
Spekenze Deutsch?
Staying away from Microshit and rotten apple is good and all, I do it myself, but…give him time outside to play without screens 🥺
Really, one photo is proof the kid doesn’t play outside?
Ofc, this is the internet after all
Is it wise to allow a 3 yo to use computers?
I’m not an expert by any means,but digital autism is no joke. This is just too much for their developing brains.
I think it’s likely that the type of content children are exposed to matters more than the medium. Children who are exposed early to digital technology will have an advantage in adapting to our increasingly digital society over those who are prevented from accessing digital media until they are much older.
GCompris is an educational program; it’s not equivalent to watching Spongebob (no offence to Spongebob).
I agree. I was grew up playing lots of games like Incredible Machine, Sim City, Zoo Tycoon, Age of Empires 2, etc. They were technical and challenging mentally. Taught me a lot about money management, logistics, testing theories, and solving puzzles.
I also watched a lot of Nat Geo, Discovery and History Channel, (Before it enshitified) read lots of science encyclopedias and books, used the Encarta CD-ROM encyclopedia often.
My siblings and our friends also played outside a lot. Built forts, played paintball, explored the woods, that kind of stuff.
The medium matters much less than the content.
It’s not “autism”, it’s brainrot induced from preditory content marketed at children.
Elsagate if I remember correctly? It hasn’t gone away
Elsagate is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s not just content engineered to be repulsive and disturbing. The entire industry pushes content ment to be addicting and manipulative.
