I have a niece and nephew ~10yo that whenever I see them are just staring at their devices. I don't want that happening to my 1yo son, I don't want him to miss out on normal life stuff either. When do and how do people normally introduce devices to their kids? So far we haven't shown him any technology, other than seeing himself on the screen when we take a selfie.

- polishdude20 3y agoI feel like it sneaks up on you. You want your kid to be quiet for a few minutes so you say "10 mins of ipad time won't hurt". It happens slowly in every moment of weakness. Every moment you're too exhausted to take the hard way out. That said, I have no advice other than to just restrict it as often as possible or just limit how many you have at home.
