We keep thinking that Tin is in the digital world because he Skypes with family and he watches YouTube with us, but honestly he is not. I have seen kids his age playing iPhones and iPads as if it was second nature. Yesterday, after learning that preparation for gifted testing means he should be playing video games about logic (not sure I am really on board with this) I let him use my computer and I noticed for one of the very first times him getting frustrated. Later my friends said no he has to use an iPhone or iPad and they showed how their kids are more adept at these devices than they are. So for a major portion of the afternoon Tin played with his friend Ava and her iPad and I have to say, he was more aggressive and less responsive than I have ever seen him with a book or a toy horn.
