Teach your child how to entertain themselves, without a device, for small periods of time.
Show them how to llook at books and make up a story by looking at the pictures. Give them coloring books or blank paper and crayons. 
No app can teach the skills these activities will.

Given the situation, and our area, another +1 for this being a seriously obnoxious post. We all know what’s ideal.  [/quote]

Mom of a 3 year old here. Agreed.

Would it be great if she could play on her own while I work? Yup.

But it's not happening. You can judge all you want, but my choices are either to spend all day yelling at her to play on her own, or give her some iPad time. I can't force a 3 year old to entertain herself. [/quote]
