[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to breakfast with 5 other friends, organized through the moms club. Every mom but me brought a tablet and immediately put it in front of their child (ages 2-3).

I honestly never occurs to me to do this. I brought some books and quiet toys and my son (18 months) just sat there. I have an older son too and we’ve never used a tablet.

It’s odd to me that this is what kids are like now.[/quote]

OP, how have you achieved this? By just not doing screen time as distraction? I have a 14 month old and I don't want to get in the habit of occupying him with screens either. [/quote]

We just never use the iPad or tablet. My son gets to watch a show or play a game when I take a shower (so maybe once a day, LOL) but I have never brought it with me to a restaurant or grocery shopping or anywhere. I honestly never occurred to me to do so. I just bring toys and books, or they just eat.[/quote]

TV is no different than an iPad or tablet.  An IPAD or tablet is better as you can put educational stuff and make it about learning.  We never put fun stuff and it was all about learning.  Your just allowing TV is not better, and in fact worse.[/quote]

So my son watching Mister Rogers 2-3x a week is worse than all the toddlers watching PJ Mask during mealtimes?[/quote]
