We don’t have iPads. None of the people we know have an iPad (okay, two). But you know who does have an iPad? Suri Cruise.
Yeah, the 4-year-old high fashion plate daughter of Tom Cruse and Katie Holmes, who favors kid-sized high heels and designer dresses that most grown-ups can’t afford, was apparently playing around on the latest obsession from the Apple factory during a midnight dinner in New York City last week.
Sure, it’s a bit more expensive than a set of good ‘ol Lincoln Logs, but Julie Hanks, clinical director of the Wasatch Family Therapy clinic told “E! Online” that just because the world famous toddler has a $499 plaything it doesn’t necessarily mean she’s spoiled. “It all depends on her emotional response to the expensive gift,” explained Hanks. “Did the darling preschooler demand an iPad? Or throw a tantrum in a store if her parents didn’t get her one. If so, she’s spoiled.”
What do you think? Should a 4-year-old have an iPad?

but when my kids were young they had those cheap like a fake pc, remember they did
math and spelling,had buttons, noises, they were like under $20,anyone remmeber
them? the kids loved them though :)
But then again, they could have loaded books or childrens games on it for her. You never know.
I can't say I hate her can I? She's just 4 years old but I'm seriously annoyed she has more than a million dollar worth of clothes. She even wears heels! I didn't wear heels until I was 16. Yes, I happen to be interested in fashion.
I'm sure this 4-year old will make more 'news' in the future.
That girl may look all cute but what happens when the cute little girl doesn't get her way,she is going to turn into a little diva and we all know how diva's act.CRAZY!
Why does a four year old need a Ipad!!?O_oWhat is she going to do with it.She is to young for a Ipad.Its like giving a two year old a phone(what the noodles are they gonna use a phone for!!O_o)Give her a doll or maybe another dress but not a Ipad.
1) Break it.
2) Damage it.
3) Won't know how to use it!
Having lived with the restaurant business for years and years, I can tell you that, other than a drunk who needs cut off, there is nothing worse than dealing with a couple of self- involved parents who let their Little Dumpling tear around the restaurant and raise holy hell while the two of them finish their dinner and lollygag over coffee. I've always said that if I want to eat with brats, I'll stay home, something that's never occurred to the Cruises.
The kid is what you call "the too special child." I could just vomit.
!!
i mean come on, really
When I was 4 I had crayons and a coloring book and was just fine.
Honestly, what would she need with it??
But hey that's them
toddler's don't need iPads, they need toddler toys. things like that are just spoiling the child, whether they threw a tantrum or it as just a gift, a toddler SHOULD NOT HAVE ONE.
