Bedtime Stories now Available on Children's Ipods

According to Michele Cobb, "I hear lots of people talking, saying that when they put their kids to bed, they put them down with an audio book". This article entitled, "Bedtime Stories now Available on Children's Ipods", make audio bedtime stories available for children from the age of two, to listen to bedtime. I am a little hesitant tho this idea only because, bedtimes stories are a parents time to spend with their child before bed. If audio bed stories are available for children it takes away from a mother or a father's bond with that child. I attest that it is not the same to put a child to bed with the audio story, opposed to embracing them in your arms, while reading them peacefully to sleep. However, a critic who believes that reading is a literary connection with words, and sells these book at Fisher Price and other children stores to children beginning at the 2. The article suggests that books will be helpful because at the age of three, because that is the usual time that parents top reading to their children.
On the other hand, these book will be exceptional to those children who do have the opportunity to have parents around to read to them. Many parents work several jobs to maintain the family, such as single parent homes, therefore having no bonding time with their child. I believe this resource can be very helpful and positive, but my concern is with those parents who buy the audio story books, abusing the privilege. I am concern with the child's development and development with their family as well. The audio book seems to put the child in isolation away from the world and family!
