not atall kids are very distructive
Yes, parents should get their children an iPad! :) Or share theirs! :) Though, teaching them to play with the things we played with in our time: play dough, blocks, and regular, non-electronic games is definitely better, letting children play with technology has its virtues. I love the extension in the usability that these accessories give the iPad! :)
