With one and a half years can be gently and gradually introduce the child in the course of the case. First, the kid can not afford even simple games, but the basic fit "stuchalki": programs based on the principle of the keypad lock. 

During loading the game pales monitor screen, and whatever key child or clicked, it appears the fish, flowers, butterflies, depending on what is built into the program. Do you think it's pointless? Not at all, so the baby develops fingers, begins to understand causal relationships. And not in the everyday sense: cast toy - she broke down, and in a more detached, pressed a button on the keyboard - there was a fish on the screen. At this age, you can watch with your child using computer pictures: family photos or demo material, the so-called presentation of some area of knowledge (human life, nature, geography, and other). Presentations are expanding their horizons and learn with other aspects of life, demonstrating the diversity of the world. A look illustration on the screen is not more harmful than the cartoon on TV. Within a reasonable time, of course, but more on that later. Free "stuchalki" and presentations for kids is easy to find on the Internet. 

In three years, the kids expect these computer games. Manufacturers of computer programs offer children educational games, in which the child for a lead character's favorite fairy tales come to life where familiar objects of the world, household items, and even letters and numbers. Games are made so that the baby could not only see the specific situation, but also to gain an understanding of similar situations and subjects, contributing thus developing the ability of generalization and classification in children at an earlier age than it does in the standard training. 

Familiar with computers and computer games, the child begins to realize pretty quickly that the objects on the screen - not the real thing, but only the characters, their designation. From games to play these characters become more complex, less are similar to the objects of the surrounding life, passing in the circuit, formula, words. The child learns to understand that there are real things, and there are contingencies that only represent the real thing. So form a view of multiple levels of reality around us, where the thoughts of man - the most complex level of reality. 

Recall how difficult it is to teach your baby reading and math "to myself," how hard the kid perform simple mathematical addition, not bending the fingers, not counting on a stick without using the abacus. Read and count, without relying on external things - a new stage of thinking of the little man. Computer games facilitate the transition from the action plan of the external to the internal, it becomes accessible to kids even before primary school. 

One should not forget that the computer classes are a great incentive for the development of the child's memory, optimize, and speed of thinking. Indeed, in computer games need to memorize levels, character names, navigate around the map and make decisions quickly. The child learns not only well, but also remembers a meaningful and long lasting. 

      Many mothers are concerned that computer games impair the physical development of the child. If the child is sitting at a computer all day, it is, unfortunately, exactly. But if you approach everything wisely and know when to stop, computer games will bring more benefits to the physical development of the child, rather than harm. As the game develops the child's motor coordination and small muscles of the hand: in fact in any games for children to be pressed on the keyboard, to manipulate with a mouse. It means improving synergy of multiple analyzers: I thought - correlated with visible on the screen - press the button or move the mouse - got the result, visible on the monitor. 

With the help of computer games is easily eliminated by a problem such as not understanding the child, where the right hand side, and where the left. The computer is the best stimulus for this: do not understand the direction, the child will not be able to choose a route for the favorite hero of the game, or it would be wrong to follow the instructions. It happens without additional exercise boring, and easily and unobtrusively. 

Computer games develop arbitrary memory and attention, form cognitive motivation, and thus help to psychologically prepare the child for school.
