I have the perfect set of steps:
Put it in a closet and forget about it.
Sell it.
Give it away.
Don't give it to her.
It's way too early. You don't want to destroy her attention span do you?
Why am I saying this? I have a daughter, same age. We gave her access to screen time too early.
It introduced a lack of ability to focus (even with giving it to her in limited doses).
Then shortly thereafter, it became the only thing that mattered.
Books? NOPE.
Art? NOPE.
Crafting? NOPE.
Lego? NOPE.
We ended up taking it away. The reaction was swift, but short-lived. Now all the other things that used to matter - matter once again.
I'm not a pro, I'm not claiming to be a pro. I'm just a fellow dad, who has been down this road… and it was ugly.
Save yourself the trouble. I promise - she won't be any worse off for waiting a little longer to be introduced to the vortex that is technology.
