Children softwares...

Children softwares are increasingly famous these days. They are available at any entertainment store in which sells VCD or DVD or even bookstores. I realized that parents these days have increasingly aware of the importance of education. That is why many children softwares have been produced to meet the demands of the parents. Most the parents that have a computer a home will at least buy one software as an enhancement for their children learning. Some will also buy the software for their children age 3 to 4. During this age, children will definitely get anticipated with the activities contained in the software. This is because there are many reasons why the children are interested to attend to the activities. One of the reasons is because of the layout of the software in which they are colourful with animations. This itself is able to attract children because children naturally like colours and images that are bright with many colours will definitely gain their attention. Enhanced with the animations that are used in the software will gain more focus from the children as it includes the element of fun. Moreover, the use of sounds will further reinforce the fun element of the software. As I was playing with one of the software owned by my cousin, I felt that it was interesting. I realized that through the activities children develop some soft skills namely thinking skills and leadership. Thinking skills is involve where children need to think in order to answer the questions or attend to the task set. Some words are of the same level of proficiency but some words are slightly one level higher which will help them to acquire new vocabulary. Leadership in being instilled in children whereby they make their own decision in choosing and solving the task set. They have the authority to set the pace and be independent in solving the task with the clues given in the software.
