Who is considered an adult? Can a minor be considered an adult? If a 17-year-old moves out, are they a "runaway"? E-books Who can I contact?

There were no printing, paper, or shipping costs involved, so a digital book should naturally cost less. A decade ago, it was not uncommon to see a hardcover bestseller priced at $25 with a digital edition price around half that.

The real savings of eBooks come with older works and backlist titles. The digital editions of books that have been available for a while drop significantly. You can get eBook editions of classic literature for very cheap (even free).

There are bargain books in both the physical and digital realms. You can find plenty of one-dollar eBooks online, enough to max out your e-reader. You can also find a table filled with $5 hardcovers at the local warehouse store.

Currently, there are still some ongoing supply chain delays that might be influencing the book market. Until everything stabilizes, we probably could see further, and at times drastic, fluctuations in the pricing of physical books versus eBooks.

The immersion of digital media in Canadian family life increased dramatically throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, renewing concerns about how screen time impacts children and family relationships. This updated statement re-examines the potential benefits and risks of screen exposure and use on children younger than 5 years old.

Health care professionals (HCPs) and others working with families and young children are increasingly asked for evidence-based guidance on digital media in four main areas: duration of use (how much is too much?) [2], limit-setting, effects on health and well-being, and quality content.

A literature search [3] into the effects of screen media on children younger than 5 years was undertaken in 2021, with focus on studies and guidelines published since 2017. Recommendations are based on evidence and expert consensus. For information on screen time in older children and adolescents, see the CPS statement published in 2019 [4].

Evidence for neuroanatomical and physiological changes to the developing brain related to early, intensive exposure to screen media remains mixed [29]-[31], but research on how (and how much) children younger than 5 years of age actually learn from screens has advanced in recent years [32]-[38]. Although babies cannot absorb screen content, digital media can catch and hold their attention. Children under 2 years old can remember brief sequences and imitate screen behaviours and emotions [23][33]. While toddlers are beginning to understand TV content by the end of their second year [9][39], they still have difficulty transferring what they see from screens to real life, and do not learn efficiently from screen media [23][40]-[42]. By contrast, they learn intensely through face-to-face interaction with parents and caregivers: Early learning is easiest, most enriching, and most efficient developmentally when experienced live, interactively, in real time and space, and with real people [43]-[47].

There are no established benefits of media exposure for infants and toddlers, with the exception of interactive video-chatting to support long-distance relationships [20][24][25][36][39][43][53][62][64][66][78].

Quality content can enhance social and language skills for all children aged 2 years and older, and particularly benefits children living in poverty or otherwise disadvantaged [43][50]. Well-designed, age-appropriate educational programs and screen activities can be powerfully pro-social, helping children to learn antiviolence attitudes, empathy, tolerance, and respect [52][91].

Emerging research suggests that app and tablet use by children age 3 and younger has potential to foster play and creativity, including the use of expressive language, music, and art [82][92]. When appropriately used, mobile devices can provide opportunities for interaction (e.g., playing games, sharing photos) that may involve executive function via memory, planning, and self-control [67][92].

Higher amounts of screen time in preschoolers have also been shown to increase externalizing behaviours and psychosocial difficulties. Children who used apps for more than 30 minutes/day had significantly lower inhibition scores compared to those with less use [105]. Excessive screen time (more than 2 to 3 h/day on any device) has been moderately associated with greater emotional lability and lower self-regulation in preschoolers [106][107], especially when they viewed alone [43][98][107]. A recent Irish study clearly associated screen time exposure with internalizing behaviours in preschoolers, suggesting that at these ages, screen time and internalizing behaviours are mutually reinforcing [89].

The negative impacts on executive function from early exposure to fast-paced, violent, or otherwise inappropriate content have been well established [9][80], and are partly attributed to the inability of young children (especially those younger than 2 years) to distinguish everyday reality from what happens on screen [23][114].

Given the choice, children will nearly always opt for talking, playing, or being read to over screen time in any form [39]. By using screen time mindfully (more intentionally), parents and caregivers:

Mobile devices with apps for exploring nature have been shown to enhance play outdoors [81][82]. For children this age, quality educational content connects on- with off-screen experiences, can foster engagement with caregivers and peers, and can support active, imaginative play [123][125][130][133].

While screen time and individual measures of weight gain (e.g., body mass index or skin folds) are not strongly associated in preschoolers [13], risks for being sedentary or overweight, including early, prolonged screen exposure and use, persist into later life [9][12][23][25][134][135]. A 2017 systematic review found that screen time was associated with a range of health indicators, including adiposity, motor and cognitive development, and psychosocial health [120]. Another emerging health concern is the risk of developing myopia related to spending more time on screens and less time outdoors [12][136][137].

Higher amounts of screen time in preschoolers have been inversely related to their fundamental motor skills performance and lower manual dexterity performance on standardized testing. Low scores were noted in children as young as 3 years old and particularly in boys [138].

Children younger than 5 years require active play and quality family time to develop essential life skills, such as language, self-regulation, and creative thinking. When parents model healthy screen habits, they:

DD is soon to be 9 and is an avid reader. She has more books than anyone I know and loves getting a new book.

She's asked for something like her iPad where she can read books when we travel without the need for bringing a number of heavy books (think Harry Potter size). This could end up being one of her main birthday presents.

We would need something that will work without Wi-Fi as I don't want to be reliant on the internet for reading as we won't always have internet when we go away and also, I just see the internet as a potential distraction.

I have zero knowledge about ebooks and would really appreciate any guidance around the options!

Kindle.paperwhite. my dd has has one from a similar age, now 6 years old and still going strong.

My top tip, add books you are interested in to your wish list -more often than not you then get emails with discounts offered.

I would suggest a kobo so that you can download books for free from the local library and other sources rather than being tied to Amazon.

You don't need to have one with mobile internet, you download the books on WiFi and can read offline.

The kobo has a similar glare free screen to the Kindle paperwhite so you can read in the sun, the battery lasts ages too. I love mine, one of the best presents DH ever bought me.
