What do experts say about children and electronics?

The Brazilian Society of Pediatrics recommends that children between 2 and 5 years of age should not use electronic devices for more than one hour a day. Therefore, it is extremely important to filter any and all content that children absorb during use!

Furthermore, excessive use of smartphones and tablets can harm memory and attention span. There is nothing more important in life than good education and the example set by parents.

You've probably heard of the phenomenon called Minecraft. It's one of the most purchased and played games in history. It turns out that it's a simply sensational entertainment option for kids.

Due to the fantasy violence present in the game, Minecraft is recommended for children aged 10 and over. There is no blood during combat. Even the impact of weapons is more playful, adapted to accommodate larger audiences.

However, it is important to mention that the game, which is now in the hands of Microsoft, has a native multiplayer function: if parents choose to let their children meet other people on the internet, they must always be close by.
