DESCRIPTION

It’s amazing to watch a young child play with a touch device, they can seem to “get it” right away. But there are still special considerations to make when designing for young kids, to maximize their engagement and minimize their frustration. We’ll cover how to best connect with children using characters, audio and visual indicators, inactivity timeouts, and more. We’ll also discuss which gestures are the most and least intuitive for small fingers, and how the way children hold tablets affects where to place elements. Finally, we’ll explore what content to include for parents, and how.
