    Good to see someone doing this kind of blog. It must be very time-consuming to wade through all of it and figure out what is good, useful and safe for kids, when there is so much garbage out there.

  • nancymn

    Thanks for the Like on my blog. And although I don’t have kids, it’s good to see someone doing this kind of useful blog for folks who do. It’s got to be difficult to wade through all the electronic stuff that’s out there and figure out what’s good, what’s safe and what’s useful.

  • Hi iGameMom, I’m from New Zealand and we have a national treasure called Hairy Maclary from Donaldsons Dairy(as in dairy products cream, butter etc. In N.Z. we call a corner store a dairy). Hairy Maclary is a delightful set of books aimed at pre-schoolers and early readers about a mischievous scruffy dog and his friends. Hairys’ first book has just been released as a iPad interactive story and I think you should review it. You can find out more about Hairy Maclary by Lynley Dodd by checking out the internet. Thanks

  • Much

    Thanks for taking a look at my blog, and all the best to you!

  • Interesting blog ~ I will pass it onto my friends with younger children. I’ve got a 14 year old who knows all there is about the apps/games she wants 🙂 but this blog will help me feel less in the dark. Thanks for consolidating the information!

    • You are welcome. From my experience, knowing more about my son’s games and being able to offer some fun apps (and educational) he likes, these do bring my son closer to me. Maybe he feels there are more to talk about with me?

  • Thanks for liking my posts, it is fun to write about them and really nice to know that they are ‘liked’. Esther.

    Thanks for the like. This site is great. You just armed me to the teeth!

  • A few days ago I saw a lil boy who could be no older than 5 playing an educational ap on his moms phone … bored with it he navigated his way to the weather ap. I then realized how much of an impact technology has on kids and just how young they begin to respond to it. Very good site and YES parents really need to keep tabs on their kids but without seeing excessively invasive. As much as it is their right …. it’s never appreciated by their children.

  • Hi and thanks for the like, what a fun site!

  • bettysbrownies

    I’m not a mom, but I love your site! Thanks for liking my post, “Of Time, Stephen King and Jack Finney.”

  • Thanks for stopping by my blog, togetherwechange.com

    This is such a wonderful, informative blog that you have set up! Although my little guy is a bit too young to be using any ‘apps’ yet (6 months old), I will definitely keep my eye on your site for good recommendations as he gets older.

  • Hi!

    I came across this on stumble upon and I thought of you since I follow your blog. It is an educational appstore, and the link is http://www.educationalappstore.com/

  • What an interesting site. I’ve recommended it to my daughter who had two daughters of her own aged 6 and 8. It’s a great way to find out which apps are useful. Thanks

    • Thanks for recommending iGameMom to your daughter. I hope they can find something they like.

  • You’ve put together a great resource here. Thanks for stopping by TEDWORDSblog.com. I’m glad you brought me here!

  • I love your blog! It’s so helpful! Thank you for liking my posts too ;D

  • Thank you for your visits to my blog! Today I was talking to another mom and we were wondering whether digital textbook publishers have started integrating videos, music, recordings, etc. into their books. For example, instead of reading about Martin Luther King, Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech, kids could click on a button in their digital history text and either hear a recording or watch a video of the historic speech. Do you know if any of the publishers are doing this yet?
    Good luck with this site!
    Debka

    • Quite a few publishers are doing this now. Check out the Britannica Kids. They use multimedia materials to enrich the content. Please take a look at my review here, and let me know if this is what you are looking for.

  • Thanks for stopping by and liking my blog posts! I really appreciate it. Great job you’re doing here! Love it

  • Thankyou very much for visiting and liking post ‘Bumper Stickers – Save the Arctic’
    You have a great and creative blog

  • Kylie

    Awesome site! I think you’re doing a great thing here. Games so often get a bad rap, but just like TV, they can be excellent tools for learning and creativity–it all depends on what you choose! I have some awesome memories of playing games and learning from Oregon Trail, Word Munchers, Spy Fox, the JumpStart games, etc. when I was a kid. This site is a great tool for today’s kids to find the same experience!

    Thanks for stopping by our blog at 6 Sweet and Sour! Keep up the good work. 🙂

    • you said it so well. I believe TV, iPAD, Computer are tools. The key is how to use them to a good purpose and in a good way.

  • So many parents are not as technically astute as others but yours sight is easy and fun! Great tool for busy parents. Thanks iGameMom

    • Thank you! Glad you find my site helpful. Please help spread the word, telling your parent friends about this site.

  • Amy

    Thank you so much for liking my post/ recipe at zenocracy.wordpress.com “Bad Sandy Stew.” If you try to cook it, take photos and let me know how it tastes! You can use meat, or seafood if you want to make it really hearty! 🙂
    You are doing a great job with informing busy parents! I keep another blog, which is about my son with Aspergers – momofsam.worpress.com
    Your site will be very useful addition to our plethora of tools, apps, and right now music, that he is interested in.
    Thank you! Keep up the good work!
    Cheers

  • Thanks for liking my blog! I’m glad you did, because your blog is immensely useful, and I probably wouldn’t have found it otherwise.

  • thanks again for your like! we feel so honoured that you check up on our blog every now and then!

  • This is a great site! I got here from your like on my blog (thanks!). I just recently upgraded to a pseudo iPhone so thanks for all the great apps. Do you also have recommended PC games?

    • I’d love to cover PC games, but for now, I don’t have the time to cover all. Maybe sometime …

  • What a great site. Led here by your likes (thanks for those). Wish I could afford an iPad – some apps look brilliant, but will have to stick with the PC stuff 🙁
    Back soon!

    • there are some are available on PC also. I will try to point out if I know. Sometimes, it is hard to cover all though.

  • Hey thank you for stopping by my blog and liking my posts. Your blog seems very well put together, keep it up.

  • Thank you for checking out my blog. And even though I don’t have kids nor an iPhone, thank you for doing what you do for those of us who need it. It is an important task, and I’m glad to see someone tackling it. 🙂

  • Hi, I’m rose, thank you for visiting my blog, and liking it. Yours seems very busy 🙂

  • Thank you for visiting my blog! I am having a great time browsing yours as well!

  • Jen

    A lot of your apps seem really useful, but I would have to download them to my PC. Are any of them downloadable for a computer? I was looking at Number Monkeys – it would be great for my son, but I think I’d have to have an iPhone or iPad.

    And thanks for all of your support!

    Jen

    • Jen, unfortunately, the focus of igamemom is applications on mobile devices, in particular, iPhone, iPod and iPAD, for now.

  • What a resource and wealth of information this blog of yours is! And thanks for liking my blog about my Peace Corps experiences in Ethiopia (You’re the first).

  • Redpeffer

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking my posts. There’s loads on your site. I’m really interested in how Apps can help learning, although not as interested as my children are in playing games!

    • You come to the right place. All apps reviewed here are high quality educational apps. I don’t post anything that I don’t think is good.

  • Mike

    Thanks for your vigilance in putting together such a great website to build up our young instead of tear ’em down the way the gaming industry does.

    • Thanks. Please help spread the words, so other parents, teachers, grandparents, … know about this site!

  • Thanks for the visits to my blogs and the likes – that’s encouraging! You have a very cute and popular blog! It’s nice to have come across it.

    • Thank you for stopping by and for sharing igamemom with people you know!

    • Thank you. Yes, please share the info with any one you think might benefit. Educational App is a growing area. I hope more families are aware of the resources.

  • Hi! Love your blog…. fantastic ideas – Will share it on mine for sure 🙂

  • This looks like a great site! I have a lot of friends with young kids and I will share this on facebook. Thanks for visiting my blog and liking it.

    • Thanks for stopping by and for sharing igamemom.com with your friends! Enjoyed your blog too.

  • This really is a fantastic blog with some great ideas. Physics and Angry Birds? Who would have thought of that?!

    • I like that idea too! physics and angry birds! come to think of it, sound really logical!

    • Thank you! Glad you find igamemom.com informative. Hope to see you more here. BTW, like your blog too.

  • Thanks for the read. Going through your blog was really fun. I love the how-to’s section. Learned a few things myself 😉

    • Great to know you found the info here helpful. Please help pass on the info to your friends and people you think who may benefit …..

  • Hi, thanks for liking my first blog post.
    This is a great site, thank you! I have a question/suggestion. My son often comes home and says “can I download game X?” that one or other friend already has. I then go and try to work out if it is age appropriate (I find that my definition of appropriate is not always the same as some of his friends’ parents). It would be great if I could search your site for “game X” to see what age range you recommend it for. Is that possible? When I use the Search option I find the game, but the age range is not indicated.

    Also I found the Scribblenauts App very good for improving my nearly 8 year old son’s desire to spell words correctly, not sure if you’ve seen that one. It’s also good for the imagination, he is constantly trying to think of new combinations of items to request.

    Thanks, Julia

    • Julia,
      Thank you very much for your suggestion. I try to put age range for the app. But all kids are different, it is hard to have a definite age range. What I did is to explain what the app does, and the app content. For example, for some math apps, I will usually include what kinds of math practice it is (two digit multiplication vs. single digit addition), so the parents know if it is the right app for their kids. As for some game apps, I try to describe what is in the game, and most times, I will mention age differently, such as kindergarten, elementary kids. I guess it is not clear all the time, I will try to make them stand out more.
      Are there any particular games you are trying to decide on?

  • Thanks for stopping by our site and liking our site!
    This is a great site for parents and teachers of young children – like myself – who are interested in using technology to have fun and learn. Keep up the good work!

    • Thank you. Glad you like iGameMom. You have an very interesting site.

  • Because I am eager to know more about you, I have named you for the Seven Things About Me Award. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this site.

  • RelentlessDreamers

    Thanks so much for liking my post, “#fail”. Your site is awesome and with a young son who is completely into technology, I know I will be referring back to your site often.

    • Thanks for stopping by. Hope you find some apps that fit your need and interest.

  • Whew, times sure have changed since my children were young. There are now so many wonderful entertaining and educational apps available.

    • Sure it does. It is so different now, and takes a lot to learn – not just for the kids, for parents too.

  • Thank you for taking the time to visit my site; I am so happy to see your blog and its content. I will be child proofing my iPad tonight!

  • Thanks for liking my blog. Your site is amazing, with all the rapid advancements in technology and coupled with the trend towards using technology more in the classrooms your site is an invaluable resource! I have one child with some attention problems and the only way to get him to work is with an ipad so I’ll be referring back to here all the time for advice and apps! I’ll also be recommending your site at work to colleagues and patients! Keep up the great work.
    From this not so techno capable Mum (NurseNoosha)
    Peace, Love and Happiness 🙂

    • Thank you NurseNoosha! Glad you find iGameMom helpful. Hope you will find apps your son likes. Also thank you for sharing the information with your friends, colleagues, and patients.

    cheers
    Mum on the run

    • Thanks for stopping by! It is amazing how many apps are out there, but not all are good. Hopefully, this site will help the parents and teachers when they try to decide which one to put on their children’s iPAD.

  • Hey, what a great site! I love the way you’ve divided it up into age ranges.

  • good idea. I am interested in the 10-15 year old apps.

  • Dear Igamemom,

    I agree with Rob, Lianne, Carey and all the other 357+ parents and teachers who like your web site. Nice work. Our kids are 16 and 18 now. Like many of us, they are slightly addicted to computers. Thank you for bringing the software news to my site.

    Cheers,
    Kevin Pedersen

    • Thank you Kevin! I am sure the teenagers know more about apps, computer stuff than most of us parents. Even my son at 10 seems know more than me. This is exactly why I want to run this website – hope what I am doing can help keep me close to my son, and help other parents stay in the trend …

  • Hi,
    Thank you for ‘liking’ my blog post.
    Love your site.

    • Thanks for visiting iGameMom. Hope you find some apps you like.

  • Thanks so much for reading and liking my blog post! Your site is fantastic! Looking forward to browsing around more on it!

    • Fun and educational apps are win-win. Kids happy, parents happy. Let’s hope there are more good educational apps coming out …

  • Jo

    I just wanted to say thanks for stopping by and ‘liking’ my post, Mother Pin A Rose On Me. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it – but I can’t take the credit. Once I started thinking about my aunt, the little article wrote itself.

  • Thanks for visiting Politics for Dogs and the ‘Like’. I have a 12-year old who too easily gets lost in the inanity of video games, passively absorbing everything thrown at him without being challenged to think or create. You have a great site here. Keep up the good work.

  • Jerrie

    LOVE Love your site… I am continuously hunting for ways to help my keep my kiddos engaged and provide a source they think is fun at the same time! I am so glad you “liked” my post – or else I might not have found yours. Thanks for the great information!

  • Hi… thanks for visiting my blog.. 🙂

  • Thanks so much for taking the time to like my first post on purchasing an iPad for my children. It’s been a fun time of exploring with my kids. I’d gotten used to using and searching for education apps as a teacher with older elementary students, but finding new apps for my own kids became a fun task. Now that I know about igamemom.com, I know where to find even more highly recommened apps. Thanks!

    • iGameMom

      Thank you for the note. Seems more and more teachers started leveraging the apps in the classroom. It is good trend…

  • Thanks for liking my post “The Trouble with the University Financial Model”! I very much appreciate it.

    My sister just had a baby last year and I think your site will be pretty useful to her in the next couple years. I’ll be sure to pass it on to her!

    • iGameMom

      Thank you! Please tell your sister, there are quite few good apps for babies and toddlers ….

  • Thanks for liking my blog post “Spousal Support in Late Term Marriages.” You too have an extremely useful and educational blog, one that I will be able to mention to divorcing parties with children.

    Always nice to see someone like yourself who recognizes and promotes the many educational options and opportunities to be found in the world of online gaming.

  • Wow! Thanks, iGameMom for giving me my very first ‘like’ of “What, Me Worry?”. Your site is most helpful…my son was happy to hear Khan Academy has an app — he uses the website in school. I’ll be passing him your link to download it to his phone!
    Take care, Susan

    • iGameMom

      Glad you find something helpful. Khan Academy App is great, and it is free. Hope you son will like it.

    I love the service you are providing with your blog! It is a challenge to sort through the avalanche of new products and media that bombard us. Thanks for providing some guidance and fun.

    • iGameMom

      It is jungle out there at the App Store. It is hard to find the good apps for kids. Hope my research is helpful to other parents.

  • Thanks for liking our My NameTags blog post ‘Is the English school system falling short of our brightest pupils?’

    You have great blog, especially the educational aspects for children and your posts ‘A Free App that Teaches Water Safety’ and ‘Monster Physics Makes Learning Fun’.

    • iGameMom

      Thanks for sharing! I wish more parents are aware of the need to child-proof the iPAD before handing it over to kids.

  • Thanks so much, iGameMom, for stopping by my site and “liking” my very first post, “A Foodie Faceoff”!

  • Thank you for the “like” earlier today! Your site is a great resource; we have an almost- 2-year-old and he’s already showing an interest in our smart phones… Apps for him are soon to follow I’m sure!

    • iGameMom

      There are quite few good apps designed for babies and toddlers. You can go to “search by age and subject” on the left panel and search for apps for “1-3 year old”. Another way to find those apps is to go to my Pinterest site at pinterest.com/igamemom. I have a board set up for “Apps for baby and toddler”. Those are all fun and educational apps. Little ones will have fun playing and learn something at the sametime.

  • Dear iGameMom, thanks for visiting and liking my “A touching story on STReNGTHS”. Read your blog and am following some of the tips and websites you recommend. You do have an informational blog! Keep up with the efforts.

  • Leslyn

    Greetings!

    Thank you for liking my “We’re family. I shouldn’t have to be questioned” post. Your blog’s idea is really cool. My fiance and I aren’t quite ready for kids just yet but our goal is exactly this: to engage and be a part of our children’s education and growth. I have witnessed parents who simply throw an iPad at their kids just to keep them quiet so that they can go off and do whatever they want. It’s an unpleasant thing to witness so your content is very refreshing and encouraging.

    Leslyn

    • iGameMom

      Thank you Leslyn. I cannot agree more with you. iPAD/iPhone or TV/Computer should never be used as baby sitter. They should be tools to help us engage with our children and to improve the learning experience, so it is fun and kids want to do more and to learn more!
      Thanks for the note. Please visit more and share the site with your friends who you think may benefit from the info here.

  • Thanks for “liking” my blog. Looks like you supply great information to help the next generation get off to a good start. Thanks!

  • ifbdan

    Thank you for the recent “Like” that you gave me on “A Husband’s Duty”! It’s taking me a while to get used to blogging, so I apologize for not responding sooner. I must admit that your blog definitely fits a need, and I look forward to looking it over more!

  • Hupat

    Hey – just wanted to thank you for liking my blog! Your blog is really interesting and I’ll be referring to it for quite a few things although I’m trying to keep my little one away from apps at the mo 🙂

  • I see you get this comment a lot but “I found your blog/site by your liking a post on my blog” Thanks for the like and the visit. I can say that you are a women after my own heart. I may be obsessed with my garden but my true passion and love belongs to my electronics. Mainly my iPad, iPhone, Mac computers and many others that I really shouldn’t mention as it would really show my obsession. 🙂 I like what your blog has to offer. I wish I had come up with the idea. Way to go! 🙂

    I look forward to following your blog and seeing all the great stuff you have to offer. Thanks for the visit to my blog and I hope you return often.

  • Free Family Technology Educates Parents, Grandparents to the “Right Game for the Right Kid”

    Dear iGameMom,

    Hope you’re having a good week and hoped an email would be a less obtrusive way to connect… say, summer is a time when a lot of video games come out…

    And I was eager to suggest that the non-profit ESRB – which rates video games – is a critical tool for parents and many grandparents, who are growing statistically as the primary caregiver in this economy. That’s because it’s as important to know what games children are playing just as they’d want to know what they’re watching on TV or doing on the Internet…

    Most folks are familiar with the movie ratings, but they may be less knowledgeable about the six video game ratings… The ESRB (www.esrb.org) can make education easy as a one-stop resource – from its photo and voice apps – to a very detailed website, which objectively explains why a game was rated the way it was:

    http://www.esrb.org/about/resources.jsp

    I hoped to please share more about what a great resource the ESRB is, but also wanted to point but add that ESRB President and mom of two daughters (Ms.) Pat Vance is an industry expert and role model, whose unique perspective can include discussion about games in the home, the “right game for the right child”, how a game gets rated and how they are striving to focus on educating the public…

    I also have some great artwork to accompany this “news you can use” opportunity, which would come in especially handy during summer travel… the mobile photo / voice app is especially handy as it can be used while on the road or at a retail store before a flight…

    May I please connect you with a little more on the ESRB and / or connect you with Pat?

    Education is empowerment and it’s especially important when 90 percent of the time a child buys a video game, a parent or guardian is there… it’s critical caregivers understand the ratings and the resources available to them… Pat would also have her Top Five ways of picking a game she could share…

    Please write or call (913.642.5767, KC) anytime and I’d be eager to help however I can, and will be standing by…

    Take care and thanks in advance!!
    Rob

      Rob,
      Thanks for reaching out. My bad that did not have any contact info on the site. My email: contact@igamemom.com.

      Glad you found your way here ;-). Hope to see you more.

  • Hi – as you can probably tell, your blog is so interesting and enjoyable and as such I’ve nominated you for A Very Inspiring Blogger Award (the details are on my blog if you’re interested). I look forward to reading more of your blog!

    • iGameMom

      Thank you! I am travelling with limited Internet access. Will check it out when I am back.

  • Hi there!
    As I wrote earlier, I love reading your blog – it has so much information. I actually just nominated you for a blog award: One Lovely Blog Award. I’m not sure if you participate in any of the blog awards, but I really enjoy reading your posts and wanted to share your site with others. See http://marymenkedick.wordpress.com/2012/06/13/one-lovely-blog-award/
    Enjoy your evening!

    • iGameMom

      Thanks so much! I am still travelling outside the country with limited Internet access. I will check it out when I am back to home.

  • Hi there, thank you for being the first to like my page. Really made my day. Love what you are trying to accomplish here. Keep it up.

    • iGameMom

      Thanks for your note. Hope to see you again – at both sites.

  • Hi iGameMom,

    I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award: http://thejottersjoint.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/accepting-praise-recognition/.

    Thanks for all the advice on games.

  • Anita

    Wow! Excellent site. Sat here downloading to iPad as I type. There goes my morning! 🙂

    • iGameMom

      Great! Hope you like them all.

  • Christina

    With three very ‘technologically diseased’ boys, your site promises to be a great help! Mine span from age 4 to age 37 (the man-child/husband), and they are perpetually plugged in. Thank you for this site…I am always eager to sneak up and out-smart them at every chance 🙂

    • iGameMom

      This is part of the motivation for me as well. Now my son starts talking about his games with me now…

  • Thanks for checking out my blog! Yours looks great. I would like to do a review on it for my blog! I am a teacher and a blogger, so your blog is right up my alley! Thanks!

  • Thanks for visiting my blog! I love your blog too! Lots of great tips and ideas!

  • I love your blog — it’s so helpful for all us moms who are trying to keep ahead of what All. These. Apps. do.

    I just nominated you for a “One Lovely Blog Award” here (http://wp.me/p2du4c-a1). Please don’t feel obligated to play along — it’s just a fun thing to say “I like your blog! Really, I do!”

    • iGameMom

      Thank you Joan! It is so nice to know that people like my blog and appreciate my work. I am not sure I can get to this anytime soon, but really appreciate it!

  • kt

    can we advertise in your website?

  • Thanks for the “like” on my blog post. I look forward to looking further into your site.

    • iGameMom

      Glad you find the site interesting. Hope you find something helpful.

  • HI Thanks for liking my blog. I think your blog is agreat idea – we could all use more info on what’s available….now to get me an iphone!!!

    • iGameMom

      That would be a first step… or some apps have windows version, so you play on your computer. For example: cut the rope.

  • Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. I LOVE your site! There’s great information and some really cool things on here I can do with my nephews 🙂

    • iGameMom

      Thanks for visiting. I enjoyed reading your nephews’ stories. I can see them liking some of the apps here.

  • Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Verra nice! Love your design here.

  • Thanks for visiting The Wifestyle. Your blog is pretty cool. 🙂

    • iGameMom

      Thanks! While keeping up with kids, we can have some fun also.

  • Hi. I’ve just passed on the Mrs. Sparlky’s Ten Commandments Award to you. I can’t get enough of your site! See http://discoveranddevour.com/2012/05/27/mrs-sparklys-ten-commandments-award/

    • iGameMom

      Thank you! I am not sure I will have time to do this, but will try. I also want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continuous support! Every like and comment all meant a lot to me!

  • Hey,
    Thanks for visiting my blog and congratulations on a fantastic site! I look forward to reading more about great apps for kids!

    • iGameMom

      Thank you Diana. Hope to see you more at iGameMom!

  • Thank you for visiting my site and liking my post on dealing with a daughter who puts some things in her mouth that she shouldn’t. We try to take a mostly humorous look at fatherhood. I hope you enjoy our site and keep visiting…Yours looks like a good resource for parents looking for educational apps. Our older daughter loves our iPad, and we are always looking for more quality apps for it.

    • iGameMom

      Thanks for stopping by, Rex. Please come back for more app ideas. I remember those frustrating moments, and looking back, we laugh at them.

  • Thanks for visiting my review site. I think between the reviews of children’s books on Kid Lit Reviews and the game and app reviews you do, the two sites compliment each other nicely. Do you list blogs you like? Maybe we could do a reciprocal thing.

    In any event, thank you for visiting my site. I hope you are a follower. I do like your site. It is full of gems. Your readership is phenomenal–236 comments before this one? That is a big WOW! in my book.

    • iGameMom

      What a good idea. You have a wonderful site for children’s books. I listed you on my resource page. Will you add me? Thanks for stopping by and making the wonderful suggestion.

  • Thank you for visiting my website. 🙂

    • iGameMom

      YOu are welcome! Thanks for stopping by, please visit more or share the site with someone you know.

  • I wanted to thank you for visiting my infantile start-up of a blog and tell you that your input is as valuable to me as a $50.00 pound note. In other words I thank you for visiting and supporting my efforts and to ask you how you promote you site. Currently I am just using the ping sites and Google alerts along with connections through twitter and Facebook. I recently have started to look for other ways to promote my blog and create traffic and entice people to join the following. I noticed that you have some expertise in this area so I am hoping you will share some of your methods with me please, thanks love

    • iGameMom

      It is hard. Unfortunately this is not the topic for this site. But if you google search on how to increase blog traffic you will find a lot articles.

  • You are very smart to be visiting others’ sites, and I, too, thank you for “liking” my Weightless in Water site. Looks like you home school…I went to a small school as a teacher along with my kids who were students. Pretty close to home schooling, but lots more kids involved.
    You are providing a very good service here. I will send your site to my son and daughter-in-law. They have two youngsters who are way smarter than I am, and they will need all the ammo they can get to guide these precious ones into the information age. Good for you!! God Bless.

    • iGameMom

      Susan, Thanks for stopping by! Hope your children and grandchildren will like my site like your do. 🙂

  • onehearthealing

    Great site!! I will forward to some people that I know who can benefit from this!!
    Thanks for stopping by my site.

    • iGameMom

      Thanks for stopping by and leaving the note, and sharing with your friends. Appreciate all your help!

  • Hello! Thanks for stopping by 8kidsandabusiness.com and liking “A Candid Letter To My Four Older Children.” Your site has useful information for parents concerned about the quality of igames and resouces for children. Will definitely pass it on. Good for you.

    • iGameMom

      Thank you Terry for visiting, and for passing on the site info!

  • Ripley Connor

    Although I don’t have kids, I think some of my friends will enjoy your site! Continued success!

    • iGameMom

      Thanks for stopping by. Please help share the site with people you think may benefit from the info here.

  • Jazzae'

    You have a wonderful site. hats off to you with the educational ideas… where were you when I was homeschooling…lol *winks*

    • iGameMom

      Thank you Jazzae! You are very creative, no wander you can homeschool. I can never imagine I home-school my child. I do hope my research on educational app will help some home-school families. Please help spread the words to people who you think may benefit from the site.

  • Shawn

    You have a lot of useful information on your site that I will share with our preschool and others.

    • iGameMom

      Thanks for sharing the site with people you know, and thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. Educational App is an area developing so quickly, we have to keep up with the trend …

  • Jaja

    This is one good site you’ve got here! I’ll bet it’s totally helpful to Moms these days. At the moment though it’s not yet a topic I’ll be delving into but when the time comes I’ll remember to check back on your site.

    • iGameMom

      Thank you for your note. Please do come back and help spread the words to people who may find it helpful.

  • Dadispen

    This is a great site you have here! My son would be thrilled to see my phone loaded with your recommended apps. Thanks for sharing. If I know you personally you would have made it to my list of Supermoms!

    • iGameMom

      Not sure I can compete with the 7 supermoms on your list, but thank you very much for the encouraging words! Glad you like the recommendations here. Please keep me posted on how you son like them.

  • Stephanie

    What a great blog! I have three children under 12 and this info is very handy.
    Thank you and keep up the good work 🙂

    • iGameMom

      Thank you for the encouragement! I really need it! 🙂

  • April

    This blog is great! I’m always looking for good ideas for my kids. You give great heads-up on those.

    • iGameMom

      Thank you. I try to do my research, so other parents don’t have to.
      Please come visit more and share the site with your friends.

  • Shelley

    What a great site! I can’t wait to share this with my daughter whose three little boys are already quite tekky.

    • iGameMom

      Thank you! Thanks for shaing the site with your family.

  • LittleFamilyLife

    Interesting site! As a probable future home educator I’m starting to look into resources and this is a treasure trove. I’m sure I’ll be back often.

    • iGameMom

      Do come back! Please let me know if you find any other good apps or resources. I am sure the readers here would love to know …

  • Liz

    Love how fresh your new site looks:-)

    • iGameMom

      Thank you! I like my new site too! 🙂 It is still working in progress though…

  • cheryl r

    This is awesome!

    • iGameMom

      Thanks for stopping by. Please come back visit and tell you friends whoever might benefit from the info here.

  • Mama Hear Me Roar

    Great stuff you’ve got here for a games ignoramus like me! 🙂

    • iGameMom

      Ha, I was just like you several months ago. 🙂 I am sure there are quite few parents like you and me. The technology world is waking up and finding the great opportunities in Education area …. There are a lot apps out there, it could be hard to tell which one is good and worth paying. Hope the info here will be helpful… Come back visit and tell you friends who can use the information here.

  • Babara

    Your new site looks fab!!! Look forward to more great stuff from you!

  • RoiAnn

    We just got a new iPad, and my 8-year-old daughter love-love-loves it, so my partner and i will come back to checkout your site often. Thanks for sharing your ed-tech-wisdom!

  • Kate Christie

    Your site looks great–as a new iPad owner, I’m excited to see what’s out there to amuse and entertain my toddler daughter, especially given that we’ll be flying cross-country this summer… Happy Friday!

  • notatypicalmom

    Thanks for the interest. I love what you are doing!

  • Mummy Drinks Tea

    I used to work in the video game world, specifically with kids’ games, and at that time “edutainment” products were pretty weak. Good to know times are changing. Great site.

    • I almost feel now we have too many – so many that it is hard to pick …

  • predsgal

    I checked out the apps you have listed for ages 6+, and you have two of my son’s favorites – Cut the Rope and Where’s my Water. He loves those, and I certainly don’t mind him playing them.

  • attentiontoeating

    Awesome job on your site. If we can take care of our kids’ food and fun, we’re all good!

  • Richard Newton

    I’m a tech and education geek, so I love what I see here.

  • pamblizzard

    You are doing a great service in your blog! My children are all grown but I will definitely pass info about your blog to several people I know with younger kids.

  • thelifeofafirsttimedad

    I’ve been reading your posts and this is great information for any parent. My daughter won’t reach the stage for quite some time but it’s good to know that you’ve got ideas for many of the questions I’m likely to have!

    • Thanks for the nice comment! For young babies, there are also some neat apps. FruitNinja is one, it trains hand eye coordination, and it is fun. There are also some books you can use, since most kids book apps have “read it for me” option, little one will for sure like them. Go to the “search by kids age and subject” function in the middle of the right panel, search by age. For you, it will be “age 0-3”, you will see quite a few apps for babies, including books, puzzles.

  • mollykelash

    My biz partner and I have developed a non-game app for teens called TeenSphere to help them with mental health, relationship and substance abuse issues. I need your advice — we’ll be on a podcast of “Mom Enough” early this summer (though we’re recording next week) to talk about our app. It’s great, but they want us to also discuss apps that help younger kids with emotional and mental health stuff, and we’ve had a tough time finding any…suggestions?

    • Looks like an interesting app. I am looking for some apps in that area too. Will post if I find them. Come back visit or sign up following the blog to stay updates.

  • the stay at home philosopher

    Maybe you can recommend an app that teaches the kids about keeping our world clean? Thanks for your work.

  • cobyjean

    This is such a great idea and resource! I used to work for a company called Edmark — they developed educational software — kids learn so many skills without even realizing it, if the tools/toys they’re given help promote them!

  • Matt Wilson

    I love your site and ideas. More adults need to realize that things like video games aren’t hindering our children’s educations, they are a part of their education. You’re going to need to hire a full time staff though, because social media is going to get flooded with educational games very soon.

    • Can’t agree more, Matt. You are right on both: how we view video games in education, and how quickly the games market is growing.

  • Maya Fitz

    What a great idea for a blog btw! I follow you now and I can’t wait to read more 🙂

    • Thanks Maya. I guess the best to thank everyone is to post more! 🙂

  • stephenedwards425

    You are doing an awesome service to your community of readers with your blog. Which is obvious by the 130 + comments here. Keep it up…we need you.

    Be encouraged!

  • memyselfandkids

    I got a Nate the great book as you reccomended and my son is enjoying it. Thanks.

  • tina hillock

    Love the info you have here! Will be back again soon.

  • Melody

    Thanks for “liking” one of my posts…which led me to your blog. You’ve got some great info here!

    • Thank you Melody. You have such a great experience, like your global perspectives.

  • seekraz

    You have quite an original site here…very nice. 🙂

    • Thank you! Hope you can find something helpful!

      • seekraz

        You’re welcome…and it’s been fun browsing. 🙂

  • martinisandminivans

    What a great resource! I’m going to add you to my blog roll. Thanks for the great ideas!

  • Talk to me...I'm your Mother

    Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your concept here. I’m passing this on to my children for the benefit of my grandchildren.

  • kelloggs77

    What an AWESOME site! My kids haven’t reached the age where they are too into video games yet, but you will be a great resource in the future!!

    • Thanks for visiting. Come back when they are ready.
      🙂

      • kelloggs77

        We recently got an Xbox Connect and so far, my kids only have interest in one game, and they don’t play it very often (while my husband SAID he got it for the kids, I’m pretty sure he also had himself in mind, since he plays it the most). But I’m sure sooner than later they will be ready to branch out.

        • Sound like my family. The toys, games my husband chooses for my son are often the ones he likes and plays more. This makes him my son’s hero. Whenever the boy gets stuck on a game, he goes to daddy for help. 🙂

  • WordsIUse

    Nice site. I see this as potentially very helpful as my kids grow. Thanks!

  • Josh Ingram

    As I am neither a mom nor a dad, the only thing I feel I can add (however facetiously), is that my younger brother and I bonded over Halo. We learned the invaluable life skills of teamwork, communication and alien warfare… And he joins the Marines in June! So there you go.

  • jennysserendipity

    I wish I could be a child again and have all the gadgets like what kids are having now.

  • G&F

    Your blog is just another reason I wish my kids were still small. It’s terrific.

  • A Woman and Her Pen!

    I just started allowing my 9 1/2 year old son to start playing with video games this past 2011 Christmas so this site will be very useful to me!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to upload information for Everyone.

    • Video games are not all bad. The key is how we guide them. Glad to know my work is helpful.

  • lorettelavine

    You have a very interesting site.

    • Thank you for your visit. You have a very informative site too.

  • priyankakher

    You have a nice, informative blog going here. Good work!

  • jmlindy422

    Cool blog. I think it will be useful in finding resources for the gifted kids I tutor. They are always looking for more, more, more. Wondering if you do anything/write anything relevant to older kids and the games (some violent) that they play.

    • Thanks for visiting. I had found some good apps for older kids, and plan to evaluate them. Come back more, hope you will find something interesting.

  • pjMom

    What a neat site! I’m just exploring the world of apps for my daughter, nearly 4 (who wants to play with my phone all the time!) We strictly limit her game and tv time to … nearly nonexistant, but I’m trying to allow a little more.

    • Thanks for stopping by. I was like you, limited my son’s game time, till I found some educational games. Their life will be differenct from ours, we have to keep up … that’s why this blog….

  • nooneofanyimport

    You have a lot of good info here. Funny, just last week a homeschooler was telling me about Singapore Math, and I had been researching it online and liking what I saw. I’ll definitely be back to check out all the cool and fun educational links and apps,

    Linda

    • Thanks for stopping by. I have not tried Singapore math. But if you are home schooling, it worth a try for sure.

  • Pearl

    I am impressed by your thoughtfulness and attention to app detail. Your blog is a must-read for parents!

  • ObiWanCanubi

    this is a great idea for a site. My son is always wanting to play with my phone on the long rides and I never know what games are worth the few bucks.

    thanks

  • frenchfry36

    Interesting blog you’ve got here… I’m a yet-to-be-published children’s book author and your site has made me wonder about looking into electronic versions – it’s a technological world these days and the little ones just jump straight in don’t they?

    • Yes. The traditional books definately will still have their position. But we should not ignore the new trend …
      Thanks for visiting!

  • noodleandgoo

    Glad I found your site! There’s so much out there for kids – will definitely be checking up here for suggestions – definitely need to get The Lorax one you recommend!

    • Thanks for stop by. Lorax is a good one. Good content (of course) and good app design, and less cost than the paper book.

  • Christine (The Brighter Side of Life)

    Wow – your blog looks like an amazing resource. So glad to learn about it, as my older son (5 1/2) is heading into that age.

    • Thanks for visiting. Come back more. I enjoyed your blog – helped me notice the small things in life and stay positive! Keep them coming.

  • andrewsmeyer

    What a great site. Our girls are getting interested in making stuff – thanks for being a resource.

    • Thank you! You have two very cute girls. Enjoy – and find some good games to share with them. Come back more!

  • sassymamma

    I like the educational elements here, especially since I have a 7-year-old!

    • Educational is the focus of this blog. If I let my son play games, I’d rather him learn something while playing. Thanks for visiting.

  • ammaponders

    I’m trying to figure out just how much I’ll need to know about games and apps — oldest grandchild is 2! I’ll study on your blog.

    • Thank you. The learning is really a new journey! Hopefully, we can all share we learned, so it won’t be as hard.

  • One Loved American Girl

    Your blog is so informative. Following!

  • stephenedwards425

    Kudos for what you accomplishing with your blog. Keep the children, children. Let them grow up slowly and enjoy every bit there is about being a child.

    Be encouraged!

  • T Hollis

    It’s amazing how the world has changed and the educational opportunities available at your fingertips for kids! The learning and teaching changed so much.

    • yes, it is hard to keep up. Hope this blog can help the busy parents a little bit.

  • Jeff Vrabel

    Been pretty successful about monitoring our 8-year-old’s video game exposure so far, as long as said video games don’t include the flinging of angry birds at things. That one we’ve lost all control over. 🙂 Great site! – J.

    • Thanks! Yes, Angry birds are addictive, and could be exhausting sometime.

  • martaliddiard

    Thanks for the recent “like” Ia m still new around here. Definitley gettting the Berenstein App, for me. lol Cheers!

    • Thanks for stop by. I am glad you find an app you like! Come visit more.

  • mymissah

    Thank you for the ideas. Very informative!

  • theinvestigatingparent

    I’m now following you, my techie husband will love to see the apps he can download for our kids!

    • Thanks for visiting. Hope you husband can find some games here. Please let me know which they decided on and how they like the games.

  • JRPittman

    I love the ideas from you – with three kids, finding games they like to play that I’m willing to let them play is a huge struggle. Here’s to hoping your site will help reduce the arguments!

    • Yes, there are so many out there. It take a lot time to figure them out. Hopefully, with my research, the blog can save your some time.

  • Author MelindaTripp

    I wrote to you on Facebook, I am so grateful to have found you, my grands that I am preschooling,(retired teacher, author, National child safety advocate and preschooling love my iPad and now I have a researching resource! I am downloading like crazy!!

    • Thank you! Child Safety is such a good topic. I am happy to find you, and now following you on facebook.

  • Kristin

    Thank goodness for your site…makes me feel much better about my lack of know how when it comes to all things tech.

    • Great. Come back more! 🙂
      Enjoyed your writing. Keep them coming.

  • Marusia

    Creative and useful ideas!

  • NewMamma

    I am always on the lookout for new games and apps that my son can play. There’s so many out there, so another Mom’s recommendation always helps!

    • Thank you NewMamma. Yes, there are so many apps out there. Hopefully, this blog can help the treasure hunt. Have fun!

  • Rachel

    Great site!

  • myownprivatemind

    Cool site idea!

  • barefoot1of4

    Singapore Math, the Primary Series, is awesome. Interesting that you have a link to their site. That’s a straight and solid area of our cow trail. Thanks for visiting Barefoot on a Cow Trail.

    • I found SingaporeMath by accident. I really like it. How do you use it? Like your blog, keep on writting!

      • barefoot1of4

        A homeschooling mom turned me onto it. I used the CD-ROMs with my kids too and thanks to that, they can all effect wonderful British accents when they want to, typically when they are in trouble. Crafty little monkeys! Harder to discipline a Brit for some reason. Thank you for the encouragement. How do you use Singapore math?

        • I have not started yet. A friend give me a set of math books from China school. Once I finish those, I am going to order some books from the SingaporeMath. I looked at the sample pages, they are pretty good.

          • *anna

            We’ve used SM and it’s been great! Not the cd’s just the books. You can very often find them for less at places like ABE http://www.abebooks.com/
            I was going to comment about your tutorial for the ipod touch, but got sidetracked here…
            We just got dd her first ipod (she’s 12.75…not 12 mind you). Not being a tech person myself the fellow at BestBuy showed me how to do the deed. Another woman came by and started a conversation, wondering what we were doing? When I said putting parental controls on the ipod she looked at me funny. I then asked if many people do this, her estimation was no, they don’t. I was very surprised. Not sure her info is accurate, but could that be true? Am I really that much of an old fuddy dud?
            Thanks for this site. It’s nice to find a place where homeschooling and tech questions meld so nicely.
            *anna

            • techsnoopshelper

              A lot of parents don’t know about the controls and most don’t know how to set them and are embarrassed to ask. I talk to them everyday, they don’t want to admit their kids know more than them. I applaud you for doing this at the point of purchase.
              By the time I get the kid’s devices, there is always inappropriate material on them.

              • I think we all have to admit that in certain areas kids know more than us …
