[quote=Anonymous]My kids all turned 2 well before COVID.  My first kid didn't watch screens that were turned on for him until after 3, although he was in the room while the superbowl was playing, or while I was working at my computer, and I'm pretty sure I showed him pictures of himself that I'd taken on my phone.  My youngest had way more screens, because his birth was the reason why I introduced them to his 3 year old brother, and so he was around when things that attracted kids were playing from the beginning.  Youngest has been earlier than oldest on pretty much every milestone and academic skill.

The only real benefit I see from my kids from not introducing it earlier is that in the first 3 years I never had a kid ask for a screen or have a tantrum because I said no screens.  To be honest, I think that I probably endured more whining from my youngest about not having a screen, than I prevented by using a screen to keep him busy.  However, my kids have different personalities so that's a guess.  [/quote]
