You don't need any technology to be a parent. It won't help you. Limiting screentime is a good idea IMO. Especially when they are really small, you want them to experience and interact with what is real. A crayon and piece of paper is much better for learning fine motor skills and processing sensory input than an ipad with a drawing app. We still limit screen time for our three kids ages 8 thru 12. We don't keep them from technology at all, but we do put a hard cap on it so they know how it feels to be bored.
