My daughter started using the computer at age three and a half. She uses mainly educational software available on the Internet as well as educational CDs that I purchased. Since then she has shown steady improvement in mouse control skill, listening comprehension, speaking and even word recognition. She has developed a love for learning and now prefers to be on the computer than to watch the TV. I can definitively say that using the computer at this early age has benefited her tremendously and I would recommend it to every parent.
