[quote=Anonymous]For older children we waited until about 5--but that was before everyone had a smart phone and took videos all the time. Our youngest, who is several years younger, got exposed to phone --face time, short videos we might take of family, etc.--at one. Since she has older siblings though, she gets to watch videos with them, which we allow only on weekends (Friday, Saturday or Sunday). but screens are on constantly because of online school now, even her pre-K has online class and video "homework." I think if you can hold off til 4-5 that is best. The problem with screens at age 2-3 is that the kids just want more more more and at least with our youngest she became UNBEARABLE once she started getting regular doses of video. It was easier having no time than trying to ration a short amount of time each day. If you can get through that horrible lack of impulse control/"I want XXX!" screaming tantrum phase without screens it really helps. [/quote]
