[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH did this with our older son, too.  It was awful.  In our case, our son ended up with severe ADD which the specialists said excessive TV caused.

DH learned his lesson but at our older son's expense.  It still pisses me off.

I should have insisted that they take a music class or gym class together on Saturday mornings since he was incapable of playing with his son on his own.  [/quote]

Your specialist said no such thing.[/quote]

I can't speak about the causes of ADD but as a speech language pathologist I can tell you that sitting on a couch on your phone while your toddler watches tv will NOT develop language skills. 
Tell you DH that talking and interacting with your toddler now will help him/her forever. Just working on the lawn together or washing the car, think about the vocabulary, interaction, verbal problem solving, questions/answers, etc. This is how children are meant to learn language, not with screens and apps.
