Does a 4-Year-Old Need an iPad?

No way. What possible reason would there be for that?
Sure, she’s used to a certain lifestyle.

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?

    My 4 year old nephew loves my iPad. He knows how to use it just as well as I do. I have purchased him several 'fun' games and several 'educational' games such as 'Monkey Preschool'. I am thinking about buying him the 16GB for his 5th birthday. it is definitely worth it. He loves it and it teaches him a lot. Kids will have to be prepared for technology because everything is becoming more and more computerized.

    If you mean "a diaper" when you say ipad, perhaps the answer is yes.

    That's just unresonable and stupid.
    But then again, they could have loaded books or childrens games on it for her. You never know.

    Tom Cruise went crazy years ago. This didn't suprise me, comparing to when he and his little wifey said that Suri had another life.

    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.

    Uh, pointless. Wasn't that obvious sodahead? Why don't we focus on actual issues involving the world rather than celebrity gossip. Oh and OF COURSE, she's spoilt! Let me make this clear MONEY+FAMOUS PARENTS(most generally)=SPOILT KID. Well, actually it depends on how they're raised.

    I'm sure this 4-year old will make more 'news' in the future.

    I think they are spoiling there child mainly b/c they can but just b/c they can doesn't meen they should.
    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.

    They probably have books loaded on it. I could criticize for her wearing high heels... and then I think of my three old daughter walking around in my high heels. So I got her platform sandals so she wouldn't break her neck. I think she wants to be like her Mom. I also think they could tone it down a little... o.O In the public eye, and let her be a child. I'd buy my children that stuff too if I had millions of dollars... I just wouldn't want everyone eyeballing her and paying attention to her. o.O

    my granddaughter has had an ipod since she was 3 and is reading at 5. It depends on the child and the ability of the parents to buy one with a great possiblity of it being lost or broken early on. My granddaughter dropped her first one in the pool.

    I have news for Julie Hanks: Suri Cruise is a brat. A child can be "spoiled" and not be a brat. This is not the case for Baby Cruise.

    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.

    Unnecessary. When I was 4 I was playing with barbies, stuffed animals, dollhouse, drees-up clothes, sidewalk chalk, crayons, ect.. I got on the computer sometimes to play a learning video game I had but the computer wasn't mine in the first place anyway. It was a family computer. clothes sidewalk chalk crayons ect play learning video game family clothes sidewalk chalk crayons ect play learning video game family clothes sidewalk chalk crayons ect play learning video game family clothes sidewalk chalk crayons ect play learning video game family clothes sidewalk chalk crayons ect play learning video game family clothes sidewalk chalk crayons ect play learning video game family

    a toddler will most likely be unable to use the device correctly, and will most likely end up breaking it.
    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.

    No. Who in their right mind would buy an Ipad for a 4 yr old? What has the world come to? Children are taking over their parents.
