- Dear parents,
-
- Children are attracted by computers as if by magic. Being strange and
- suspicious to many adults, to children this modern aid is as natural as
- the telephone and the TV. Just the fact that mum and dad use it excites
- the curiosity of the child.
-
-
- Often the computer unjustly is condemned as being a cause for isolation,
- a lack of creativity, an increasing propensity for violence, etc. This
- is not necessarily so. If the computer is used the right way, i. e. with
- the appropriate software and under control of the parents, it can help
- to encourage creativity and communicational skills.
-
- ABC-WARE is software for children *). Under this name programs are
- developed which do not contain violence and have no racist and other
- contents which are liable to corrupt the young. Here you will not find
- any shoot-'em-up games.
-
- ABC-WARE stimulates the creativity and the intellectual and logical
- capacities, supports the imagination of your child and in an enjoyable
- and playful way practises simple tasks as reading,
- arithmetic, etc., either by itself or together with children of the
- same age or with the whole family.
-
- Make sure that your child spends its time at the computer in a useful
- way. Pay attention to ABC-WARE when buying software. This ensures that
- you always choose the right software.
-
-
- *) There are supposedly even adults who enjoy ABC-WARE!
