    This source breaks down some of the main pros and cons regarding the issue of promoting tablets in the classroom for grades K-12. Major points are addressed such as the health controversy, financial adjustments, distractibility, etc. Interesting statistics about number of e-books purchased and usage is presented, along with statistics about expenses of the electronic book options. I found this source by Googleing, "digital books vs textbooks, pros and cons".

  • Physical
  • Walking a dog or running in the yard and throwing a ball are great ways to exercise the dog as well as for children to get away from sedentary indoor activities and move around. Small motor skills can be encouraged by allowing children to scoop food and pour water into dishes, and by helping to groom them
  • Social
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Children are more prone to approach and interact with another child who is playing with a pet. In this way, a pet can be the bridge between a less socially outgoing child and other potential playmates.
  • Emotional
  • Pets can facilitate various aspects of emotional development such as self-esteem and a sense of responsibility.
  • Cognitive
  • Encouraging children to read about their favorite pet or to take part in obedience classes with a parent and the pet can all encourage a child's cognitive development as it sparks the desire for learning. Bringing the child along to a veterinarian appointment will give him a chance to ask questions about proper care and his pet's health.
  • Pets as therapy
  • Because of the special bond that often develops between pet and child, pets can sometimes fill the role of comforter. Since the relationship is non-judgmental from the pet's perspective, a hurting child might be more willing to initially trust a pet than a person

    This article is probably one of my favorites. It shows how children's interactions and care for another person can greatly impact their aggression levels. The response of caring for someone else overcomes the want to hurt another.
