But parents who have grown up hearing that "playing video games will rot you brain" may find themselves in a difficult situation when their five-year-old charge asks for an MP3 for his birthday. Should you buy him the gadget or give him something more traditional instead?
Well, the best answer to this question is either. The decision is yours to make, and the responsibility is yours too. Do not be afraid to pick an electronic gift, however, because there is certainly nothing wrong with these gadgets. Just make sure though that your gift is appropriate for the child.
