[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 yo nephew has been on an iPad since about 8:30 am. MIL is marveling that he is “being so good”. (We are at MIL’s house). I find it odd that this is her definition of good behavior. [/quote] The iPad is consuming all of your nephew's attention and taking it will probably cause a tantrum. That's what they are designed to do--become addictive to the user. It's why tech gurus limit or prohibit early electronic use for their own children. Your MIL is from a different generation and doesn't understand this, so she equates your nephew's behavior as "being good." That's what you want to hear right? It's also correct. If you want to help your nephew, engage him in something active like reading together or playing outside, but three year olds are a lot of work when they aren't using a screen. [/quote]
