Maybe because of the amount of time parents spend in front of the computer that little kids get attracted to it.
Or maybe because it has all the components of fun interactive toy - a working keyboard and a bright monitor that shows different images so kids think it must be a fun toy.
Anyone who has a computer and a little child at home knows that the minute you step away from your computer, your child will only be too eager to take your place.
Sometimes, you just step out of the room for a minute and when you come back you will find your son typing away on the keyboard as if he was being paid per keystroke.
Sometimes you don't even have to step out of the room before your child decides he wants to play on the keyboard.
If you get busy on the phone or some other chore, your child may decide it to be the perfect opportunity to play on the PC.
The problem is you can't really turn off your computer if you're just stepping out of the room for a short time.
What you can do is lock your system but this can be a hassle if you have to step out of the room quickly.
Even though it's probably a good idea for your child to play with your computer so that he learns to be comfortable with technology, it is best if you safeguard your data so that you don't have to worry about your child deleting data from an open spreadsheet or document.
One thing you can do is to lock your system so that you can safeguard your data or you can buy software such as the ABC Baby Piano which you can install on your PC so that you can let your children play on the computer keyboard without worrying about losing data.
The ABC Piano is a software that turns your PC keyboard into a piano.
After you install the ABC Baby Piano, you can lock your system manually or automatically.
This way, you don't have to turn off your PC and let your baby enjoy his time on the keyboard.
The best thing about the software is it actually turns your keyboard into a toy that stimulates you baby's brain.
Even if you're not concerned about losing your data, this is something you could actually get for your child because babies like music.
Aside from the full version which you can buy from the internet, you can also download the free trial version of the software to test if it's something you could use or something your baby would enjoy.
