[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, so many FaceTime haters here and people who don't think toddlers are cute even if they can't carry on a conversation. I have a niece across the country and we have FT multiple times per week since she was 2 (she's 3.5 now). Its wonderful for cultivating a relationship despite not living close enough to see each other more than a few times per year. When we do see her, my partner and I are immediately recognized with hugs and excitement, rather than being the strangers we'd otherwise be. It's simply the best, and I'm so grateful FaceTime exists and I'm not missing out on being a part of my niece's life just because we live far away.[/quote]

I think toddlers are cute, but I hate trying to FaceTime with them.  It's such a horrible overlay of technology on, what should be, a pretty much screen-free time of life.  WHY would you force a toddler to understand "people we love" as a concept on a screen?  I'm not a screen free person, I love tv and movies and my kids do too, but I don't encourage them to have psudo human interaction on phones and tablets.  It's weird.  Their little brains shouldn't have to learn how to do that.   [/quote]
