It’s a constant struggle for 21st- century parents to figure out what the perfect balance is for their child and devices. She has nothing in her brain that tells her to turn it off.
She would play with the iPad all day if I let her, until she fell over and fell asleep.
I still struggle on a daily basis with my daughter to balance my need for making her lunch, for doing my work or getting dressed. We kind of used it as the pacifier of last resort. We definitely let Olive grab the iPhone or the iPad when we were on airplanes or in long lines. Q: How do you feel about the recommendation of no screen time for children under 2?Ī: Some parents ban it completely during those first two years. Every single day you would see a little bit more light in those eyes and you would see her start to follow the story a little bit. So I would set her up in her bouncy chair and as she drank her bottle I would pull out a board book and read it to her.
