You are so correct in saying they need to have time to self-regulate that they need to have time to correct. During covid my grandson and I because they live 2 hours away. We did share FaceTime. You gave my daughter a break and it let me connect with my grandpa. That was amazing. As you said, connecting with the grandparents is important connecting with people that you know is important. But yes we do have to limit the screen time because children savvy all the screen time especially when they get older. Do not know how to socialize with actual people. Thank you for re-confirming all that
Great topic to discuss and listen to.
The question we need to ask ourselves is we know that screens are not good for babies and toddlers development but why are parents continuing to do knowing that it is not developmentally appropriate!
The whole family needs to be able to regulate without the use of screens.
