Comfortable computing for children
The recommendations in this guide apply to computer users of all ages. Often adults have to
“unlearn” poor computer-using habits, but children—especially young children—won’t have old habits
to break if parents and teachers help them to learn good computer habits from the start. Parents and
teachers need to monitor and guide the children in their care. Start children early on a lifelong habit of
listening to their bodies, sensitizing themselves to awkwardness, and adjusting for comfort. (See
Carefully monitoring children using computers on page 21.)
