[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I live in SF, and work for Google. Every single Waldorf family I know has a tv, and has cell phones. Generally the tvs are either covered (like with a tiny tablecloth type thing) or are in a tv cabinet that is closed. There's some specific criteria about what is okay to watch on tv.

A LOT of the parents who work for my company and other tech companies in Silicon Valley do not allow any screen time for their young children until they need it for school.

In my house, the tv is inside a closed cabinet. While the baby is sleeping we don't mind the nanny watching. DH and I have cell phones and laptops and I have an iPad. While we will use all in front of the toddler she does not use them. Maybe once a month or so, if we come across a slideshow of cute baby animals or penguins playing on a water slide, we'll show it to her. But she never plays games on a screen. She's never been handed a cell phone or iPad to keep her entertained. We asked our nanny not to text if the baby isn't otherwise occupied. We have asked that she tell her "My phone is not a toy," and not allow her to play with it and redirect her to her toys. [/quote]
