Both of my children enjoy drawing, and naturally, it all starts with paper and pencils. Later on, my daughter transitioned to colors with watercolors and everything related to colors, while my son still uses pencils but shifts the content to storytelling, warfare... and for coloring, he does it on iPad because there's an app that allows layering...
I bought two printers with scanners for my children because I believe it can help them digitize their drawings on paper and analogize their drawings on their iPads. I call it hybrid.
However, it appears that after nearly a year, my son utilizes the machine more practically than my daughter. My daughter merely prints out random images for amusement, while continuing to draw on paper, walls, even decorating her suitcase and water bottles...
Yesterday, I went into my son's room and asked him to take a few pictures of himself using the equipment I provided, to show off to our friends.
My child has been exposed to iPads from a very young age, yet this hasn't deterred him from other subjects. My son still learns to play musical instruments, engages in gaming, reads books, understands weaponry, airplanes... participates in extracurricular activities at school. Listening to rock music and watching Star Wars is no different from me... he even excels further because of a better understanding of English. My daughter, being younger and a girl, doesn't know as much as her older brother, but she's started reading history books like him. The issue with iPads for kids isn't the device itself but the content they consume. Content tailored to the appropriate age group and properly vetted would be beneficial. My child's iPad doesn't have YouTube or TikTok, platforms with unregulated content, manipulating age for more views.

This is the map of an imaginary world... in another world, there are costumes, soldiers, weapons...
This drawing exercise is like a story with many characters, involving classmates.
I'm not a fan of comic books, so just looking at them doesn't really appeal to me.
The original version was scanned into digital format. The digital copy is stored on the iPad and then edited. Then it's printed out into analog format, and upon seeing the printed version, adjustments are deemed necessary...
My daughter isn't very enthusiastic about the printer because it doesn't cater to her needs or interests. If it gathers dust again, I'll sell it cheaply to anyone in need.
Thank you, iPad, for teaching my child so many things that I couldn't teach.

Why do kids enjoy playing those low-resolution and incredibly boring graphic games on Roblox?
