I had a friend who basically gave their kid a tablet instead of a pacifier and, without trying to be mean, that kid was so weird. Immediately tantrum if the tablet was taken away, never made eye contact, etc. I can't say that was the whole reason, but it made me really scared when I had my own. She didn't get any screen time at all until 7 or 8. Then we gave her 30 mins a day. If she was doing something interesting she could ask for more time and tell us how much and what for. But she usually just watched youtube or play pvz for 30 mins and done. No social media, but allowed a few messenger apps. So far she doesn't seem to resent us or even care. Not sure if it's where we live, or the age, but most of the other parents seem similar. She did have one friend who was always on TikTok and trying to make vids. Instead of begging us for TikTok, she recognized and pointed out to us how weird it was to always want to be doing that.
