Giving young child a expensive game and mp3 player?

My boyfriend gave me a PSP , it has several games with it, car charger , wall charger, big black carrying case, and little silver carrying case.. Looking up everything online there is about $300 sitting there in PSP stuff. I ended up giving it to my son (6 years old) which he was totally fine with, he had given it to me to sell but then I changed my mind.



Well I told one of my friends I gave my son the PSP and she asked me if I was out of my mind. She said kids should not have expensive things like that , she also said I was out of my mind for buying my son an MP3 player which is a $25 spongebob one so I do not see the big deal in that, I saw on reviews that people had bought them for there kids as young as 3..



The only time my son is allowed to use the mp3 player or psp is when we go someplace , he never uses them at home, he has a radio and PS2 so there is no need for him to use them at home. We go out alot and sometimes travel and the PSP and mp3 player are something to occupy him.



Do you think it is wrong for kids to have an expensive game like a psp or wrong for a kid to have a mp3 player?Giving young child a expensive game and mp3 player?
In your case, I think you are fine. Like you said, he only uses them when you and him are away, or on vacation. So it's not like it's getting really worn out or anything.



I would never give a 3 year old any mp3 player or technology like that, no matter what the price is. I would want my kid to have some respect for property before giving them that.



I've seen 6 year olds with nintendo DS's and 9 year olds with iPod nanos and such.Giving young child a expensive game and mp3 player?
It was not wrong to let him have the mp3 at all. It's a $25 so it's totally ok. It gives him more responsibility. But i think the PSP was a little risky to give him. It's expensive and if he has it in his room that is too much but if you have it and only let him have it on trips, then it's totally ok!!!Giving young child a expensive game and mp3 player?
