[quote=Anonymous]Of course it's not great parenting, but it's also hard to fight that tide. We did no screens before 3 for my oldest, but then she got to school and it was screens screens screens! My oldest we gave an etch a sketch as her "tablet" and it worked a charm, she didn't even realize that other kids' tablets were something different. My youngest knows wtf a tablet is and has a keen sense that he's being disenfranchised with the etch a sketch while big sis gets moving pictures. And then there are 7 year olds bringing iPhones to 1st grade so my oldest, who I think gets PLENTY of screen time between school and weekends, thinks she's being raised in a gulag because she doesn't have a phone and has to have approval to touch her tablet. Just do the best you can for your own kids and keep pushing.[/quote]
