1. Highlights Shapes App                                                                                         

Ages 3+   

An enchanting 3+game. Brought to you by the Highlights magazine folks, the quality is beautiful. The game is slow and mesmerizing. The experience is quiet and zen like as bubbles give way to a little squirrel floating through a series of lovely scenes where you and your child will identify shapes and colors. Fill in the scene with a yellow rectangle or a set of purple circles and a new scene slowly opens.

This app can help your child with their development of critical thinking and problem solving skills as they explore new enticing shapes, colors and color mixing.

We think you can play this one straight through from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how quickly you complete the shape puzzles.

Highlights has been around for decades and parents can trust this brand.  This app has the added security of an ad-free environment; we love that it's CARU (The Childrens Advertising Review Unit) and the FCC's COPPA( Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) Safe Harbor Certified.

WHY PLAY GAMES THAT DON'T REQUIRE WIFI, DATA, OR INTERNET?

WiFi-free games are really the best bet anytime, but can be a LIFE-SAVER when you are traveling, whether by train, plane or car.

The trick is to download the games (or podcasts, for Mom and Dad) when you have a clear, strong internet signal at home. Then, whether you're 30,000 feet in the air or driving to visit relatives in Tucson, you've got access to games that keep the whole fam busy without needing the internet.

Games and Apps are Better when No WiFi is involved

There’s tons of controversy about the benefits children get from using interactive gaming applications and the flip side--harmful effects to a child’s developing brain, possibly caused by exposure to violence in games or other undesirable virtual situations. More often than not, these concerns focus on how these smart device applications impact a child’s learning or mental health development.

The Expert Says

 If you want your kids to develop better sensory-motor skills and better reading skills, screens for kids under 3 should be off limits. Dr. Kimberly Young, notes that kids develop better sensory-motor skills playing with real toys and better reading skills off line. Her great Screen Smart guide can help you be the best Tech parent out there. Dr. Young has been researching, teaching and treating Internet Addiction for over 30 years, so we think her ideas are super solid. And for kids of all ages, Dr. Young points out that in order to develop social communication skills and healthy family attachment, a tech disconnect is a must. We love that idea.

Then there’s the EMF possibility

At Tech Wellness, we are also concerned with physiological health: WiFi and cell signal wireless EMF exposure on little bodies. There are many studies that that show EMF radiation has biological effects. Without a doubt. 

This is especially concerning when it comes to children and their developing bodies. The energy from devices penetrates deeper into their brains as a result.  In fact this study using models of brain tissue of children 5 to 8 years old, indicated that the maximum specific absorption rate (SAR) in one gram is about two times higher than in adult models.  Devra Davis sites several research studies and shows why children absorb more radiation than adults and the consequences of that exposure.

The good news is that radiation coming from the WiFi drops off dramatically with distance. So, use your laptops, tablets and cellphone is Airplane mode. Tech Wellness recommends keeping a minimum of 15 to 20 feet of distance between you and you and the router for safety. 

And--Turn off WiFi when you're not using it. That’s why we love our WiFi Switch You don’t need to get close to the wireless radiation from your router and it makes it easy to power off anytime. Many parents have shared that they find their children sleep better when the WiFi’s off.
