You control the device. Activate the appropriate parental controls. Only the apps you wish your kids to be able to use are accessible to them. Don't give them access to a browser or social media apps. The skills they will use reading on the tablet are not substantively different to those reading on an eink reader. You have more control with a tablet, not less.
