Tablets for children from 7 years

At the age of seven years, children already know a lot and know how, and in the era of computer technology they have access to a wide variety of opportunities for entertainment and development. But even a very demanding younger schoolboy will like such a gift as a developing tablet. How to choose this device for children from 7 years old, we will tell in this article.

The fact that a child uses gadgets, if desired, you can find a lot of pros and cons. Grandmothers say that the tablet will ruin the child's eyesight. Grandfathers argue that football in the fresh air is much more useful.

All this is so. A tablet computer will surely spoil the eyesight if the child plays for him for hours, and the tablet itself will be rather cheap, low-grade and unsuitable for children's use.

Football in the yard is very useful for physical development, but you should not forget about mental development either.

In addition, no one bothers to correctly combine walks, sports and computer work.

Thus, with reasonable use child tablet The risks to a child’s health are minimal, and the benefits are obvious. A child will be able to play, read, watch cartoons or movies, use educational programs and Internet lessons, solve logical problems and learn foreign languages, as well as communicate with peers and use the Internet. All this knowledge will be useful to him at school and in life.

Equipment for a seven-year-old child should be closer to an adult in its capabilities, because many applications and games that are interesting for schoolchildren differ from children's games in terms of volume and graphics. But to buy an adult tablet for a child is expensive and irrational, because all the possibilities of a “big” gadget will not be useful for a seven-year-old.

The best option would be a children's tablet, which was created taking into account the interests and requirements of children from 6 to 14 years. The model should be reliable, strong, good-quality and high-quality. The housing must have shock resistance. The screen should be optimal for children's eyes and not cause harm to visual function. As for the technical characteristics, it is worthwhile to focus on the following parameters:

• Screen size - at least 7 inches. Better if the size is 8 or 10 inches.
• Resolution - at least 1280x720 pixels. More is possible, less is not needed.
• RAM - 1 GB.
• The processor - 2 or 4 cores, the frequency - from 1200 MHz.
• SIM card support - up to 32 GB. Minimum - 16 GB.
• Internet - Wi-Fi (available on all models), if desired - 3G.
• Applications - educational, developing. Pre-installed or installed. Be sure to Russified.

It is best to give preference to proven manufacturers. They are responsible for the quality and safety of the device. Moreover, today it is not difficult to find a model from a reliable manufacturer at more than affordable prices.

We compiled our rating based on reviews that parents left on the Internet, as well as on publicly available data on the number of sales of various tablets:

This is a tablet that you can safely give the first place. Technical parameters are fully consistent with those recommended for children.The design is simple and uncomplicated, but it is equally suitable for boys and girls. The main advantage of the model, according to users, is a capacious battery (4000 mAh). The main disadvantage is that applications from the internal memory (and its only 8 GB) can not be transferred to a flash card, this complicates the process of games in the "big" games. The rest of the reviews are positive. The cost of the model is from 8500 to 10000 rubles.

Despite some characteristics that may seem "weak", this bright tablet is worthy of second place for an incredibly tenacious battery. With a capacity of 3000 mAh, it works up to 8 hours! Basic requirements are recommended for children. The reviews are mostly positive, the tablet deserved an honest 4.5 points out of 5 on most review sites. As a disadvantage, the low capabilities of the built-in camera are called - the child’s photo and video are of disgusting quality. The model can be considered quite budget (the price in chain stores is from 4,500 to 5,000 rubles).

This is a whole line of tablets for children. The Russian brand, which is collected in China, is considered to be inexpensive, but very high quality. According to the technical requirements, you can pay attention to TurboPad, Turbokids “Ninja Turtles”, MonsterPad, TurboKids Princess, TurboKids “Dasha-traveler”. On average, the cost of models - from 5500 rubles. The most expensive today is the tablet "Ninja Turtles", it supports 3G, has a larger screen than the rest, the screen is 8 inches. Its cost is about 7,000 rubles. A large number of reviews are available on models that have long been known - MonsterPad, TurboKids Princess. Newer tablets ("Turtles" and "Dasha") still have a single, but quite positive reviews. In general, users evaluate the tablets of this manufacturer on a solid "four".

For most children of primary school age, it is very important that their tablet has a different design. If the younger child doesn’t care what is painted on the case, the main thing is that the cartoons were bright and showed, then at the age of 7 the boys are unlikely to want to get a pink tablet as a gift, and the girls will not be happy with the models in a rather aggressive dark case.

Manufacturers took into account the wishes of children. So, you can choose a model for a boy - MonsterPad, Turbokids “Ninja Turtles”, and you can make a nice gift for a girl - TurboKids Princess, “Dasha-traveler”.

In addition to the color scheme, the designers have tried and added comfortable silicone cases to some models, which not only protect the tablet body, but also serve as a handle-carrying tablet can be worn like a handbag.

A seven-year-old child has already learned a lot: he knows how to read and write, he believes he actively communicates. But for many children, schoolwork becomes painful only because children at this age have not very well developed logic, memory, ability to learn, attentiveness.

To improve these qualities, to develop them, will help the children's tablet, which will quickly become a true friend for your child. Most of the preinstalled educational applications and Internet lessons will help you quickly and unobtrusively improve the reading technique, oral account, mental arithmetic, will allow you to learn a lot of new words from a foreign language, will help in expanding your horizons and fantasies.

It is not necessary to immediately put a "race" and "shooters" on a brand new tablet. Take a close look at what the manufacturers themselves have offered the child. In different models, the set of pre-installed programs is different. The number of developing applications ranges from 20 to 70. Junior schoolchildren are very helpful in logic games, puzzles, and a wide variety of quizzes that involve answers to questions from various fields — mathematics, reading, literature, fairy-tale worlds, natural history, and biology. It is clear that the questions will not be of the USE level, but adapted for primary school age.

Coloring, puzzles and “three-in-a-row” will help to interestingly pass the time at leisure. In addition, the child is not necessarily for every book to run to the library and look for her shopping. Parents can download any book from the Internet to the tablet, and convenient programs - “readers” will allow the child to read it comfortably.

So that seven-year-old schoolchildren do not come across on the Internet with video and other content that can harm their psyche and development, parents can limit access to certain resources that cause the greatest concern (social networks, Youtube).

This program allows you to create lists that will include not only specific sites, but also resources that may be similar to them in certain ways, for example, implying the presence of candid photos or prohibited videos.

In some models there is a switch of child and adult modes, and parents can put the lock manually on any resources within their mode.. The gadget in the child "shell" bans can not get around. Step-by-step recommendations on blocking are available on the Internet for each model and modification of the tablet.

Do not forget to limit the time of the game. Seven-year-olds are very interested in nature.

Buy a bumper cover if it is not included.
