3.5 year old can use computer. Is this totally wierd?

I think its very unusual. I think that given that your children haven't always followed developmental milestones at typical ages that its not suprising at all. This is the child with apraxia? Development that isn't typical is very scattered and uneven, so to be behind in speech, you would expect him to be way ahead in something else. Given the history of your oldest son that i know of, its not suprising that this son is very smart and good with electronics.

Alyssa, YOU ARE FUNNY... you are so great at asking this relative number questions. Do you love the math involved or just the odd way of asking common questions? I like them, anyway. Very amusing. And now on to the question. If I am the 74 year old and she is a real hottie, then, NO, it is not at all weird In fact I am close to that age and was just looking at the cute 24 year old on Deal or No Deal and thinking, Wow, I sure would love having her around all the time. She seems intelligent and talented and obviously has an electric personality, is happy, jumps around, very, very cute. My guess is she is trying to get into show business or modeling as she is a waitress in NYC. I tell you again, if I was very rich and had an nice place in New York I would be more than happy to take her away from her waitress job. I might do this, but not with an American woman because they are too much into material things and youth. No, I'll probably go to Russian and find a beautiful woman, or maybe I'll find a Hungarian or Czech girl like Donald Trump's latest wife. How is that for a long answer for your funny joke?

I don't think it's weird. I think that makes him pretty smart. My 3.5 yr also gets on the computer and plays games and has since he turned 3. I showed him once how to do things and he just took off from there.

He can turn it on & shut it down properly

open the internet

he also knows where to find the games already loaded on the computer

he can maximize and minimize a window

and a few other things

I have also had friends who are amazed that he can do all this but, I don't think it's weird....it makes me a proud mama!

No I don't think it's weird at all. My son (at 3) was doing the same thing. He knows all the favorites, how to bookmark sites, how to find all his favorite games. Some kids who have never seen a computer or who were brought up in a diff. generation may be totally unfamiliar with the computer.

No, I don't think it's weird. I think it's great!!!! Kids now a day are learning much quicker and more than we ever did.

My son is so eager to get on my desk top and laptop, he doesnt know what hes doing at all but hes only 14 months. I hope he knows as much as ur child when he 3.

:)

My son played computer games at 2 1/2 years old, he mastered how to click and drag thing in his game, he has 2 sesame street preschool games he only plays on his own. I let him online to do games but only when I can play with him. I never let him play on the computer without supervision!!

Not weird at all, if this is what he's grown up around. It makes sense he would know how. Use this to your advantage. Let him listen to some of the preschool singing/teaching videos on you tube. PBSkids.org is a great website for him. Brainpop, learn to read at star fall are also great sites. You'll need some internet safety classes soon if he keeps up.

My son did this too. He would open up the browser, click on games and then scroll through for the web games that he wanted to play on Yahoo! Kids will pick up on whatever they're exposed to if it is interesting enough for them.

not al all .. my 2 yr old son cannot read but uses the apple laptop as if he know severthing . he can reach the game and click on the right buttons. so just chill , this is a new generation..

No, my daughter started using the computer at around 3. We even taught her how to use the "favorites list" on IE to get to different sites (that we set up for her).
