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.)
