[quote=Anonymous]Asian-American here. I used to severely limit screen time for my children. One day, we were at a play date at an engineering household (dad went to MIT). Their 4yo was playing advanced games on his ipad while my 4yo did not even know how to navigate between apps. I realized that some of these games were not all bad and did require thinking. We do limit screen time but I have started using the ipad and computer as a learning tool. My older child is in kindergarten and reads books on MYON (FCPS reading program). My younger preschool child gets ABC Mouse and Preschool Lunchbox. DH lets the kids watch more tv than I would like. I don't necessarily think the tv is damaging their brains but I much prefer that the kids are outside playing outside. There are a lot of hours in a week. Kids get plenty of education, art, sports, outdoor and indoor play time and screen time. [/quote]
