My first kid has had her own iPad and allowed to use it for as long as she can remember... In some ways, it was very helpful. She learned a lot of skills early.

My first kid has had her own iPad and allowed to use it for as long as she can remember... In some ways, it was very helpful. She learned a lot of skills early. But in some other ways not so much. She doesn't care to play much with other kids for instance. So my second kid (currently a toddler) will only get a Raspberry Pi. And a controlled amount of total screen time. Not going to do same mistake again.
