Is this a case study in why early screen time could be a positive? I assumed that the corrupt garbage for children on youtube and television were enough to forbid screens for the early years in child development. Teddy, however, used a tablet and some unknown apps/videos to learn how to read.

The real problems with video are that it 1) doesn't require any meaningful use of selective attention, being constantly hyper-engaging with every relevant stimuli presented on a platter, and 2) it doesn't teach them any bidirectional interaction with their environment, during a critical period of brain development meant for exactly that.

  That's a great answer that I'll use from now on.
