[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in tech and everyone around me through work delays all screens and delays phones. Generally no screens except long trips until 6 or 7, and no phones until HS. I only have one friend whose DH works in tech where each of their kids had their own iPad by like, 2 years old. [/quote] I think the iPads for 2 year olds are insane. There's all this data out there on the importance of face-to-face interaction for speech and social-emotional development. And speech development feeds into early literacy. I don't understand why anyone would give a child that young their own screen device, especially when a lot of 2 yr olds can be entertained fairly easily.[/quote]
