Educational Apps Developed for Children Make Learning Fun
TV programs and video games play a major role in the development of a child. Parents are concerned not just about their child’s growth in terms of education, but also their logical and imaginative capabilities.
Today’s kids are getting smarter, younger. Children are now becoming adept in using smart phones and tablets; tapping on apps, making phone calls, watching videos and even playing games with their nibble fingers. However, it is essential that parents monitor the kind of content children access and also introduce the child to appropriate child-friendly, educative content.

As a parent, one should strive to find the areas children are strongest in and harness their talents further. It is very important to address their weaknesses if any.

Educational apps could be an excellent tool in the present age, where children can learn while having fun. Using the right apps give children the chance to explore both their logical and imaginative capabilities.

LIV Kids- Sony Pictures Networks India has launched LIV Kids, which will offer content specially designed for children. Produced in-house by SonyLIV, the content currently includes popular nursery rhymes. LIV Kids, according to a statement, will also introduce engaging and entertaining content for kids in the future.

NexGTV Kids- Think childhood and you instantly think of story-telling! Indian children have quite a treasure-trove of stories which teach them a lot of morals along with entertainment.

In the digital craze, a lot of these simple stories which come from the heart are missed out. In a bid to ensure that the upcoming, digital-first generation does not miss out on these entertaining yet educative shows, India's first kids' video and infotainment app have designed the nexGTv Kids App which brings together the best of stories for kids.

The app is especially great if your child is creative as it not only shows videos but also has some great DIY options. With the vacation season just ending, the craze for studies hasn't begun yet and children are still in their experimental, vacation mode. This can be a great time to introduce them to arts and crafts using the DIYs as a hobby and also, help them unleash their creativity!
