S on Peanut: Is screen time wrong for toddlers?

S · 2018-03-26T02:07Z

Hello! I’m new to this app and am a first time mom to a 15-month-old girl. I just want advice on what to do about tablets and cell phones with a toddler. My mom and husband like to put on baby videos (like twinkle, twinkle, ants go marching, peek-a-boo, etc) for my daughter and she is getting hooked on them. I’m not a fan of tablets/phones for babies/kids, but I know most people say it’s fine. It’s been two days that she’s been hooked on watching videos. She’ll cry to my mom or husband to put her baby videos to watch. I already said no more and part of me feels bad for doing so. It’s just not a good thing for them at this age in my personal views. Am I wrong for not allowing her to watch videos? She loves books and will bring us her books to read to her (even if it’s for a minute, lol) and I want to keep that going instead. Thank you! 😊
