Everyone in our life has spoken about how impressed they are by our kids' ability to have conversations. My friend group asks us what the secret is.
Secret: very limited phone and tablet time. Like how life was for millennia before smartphones.
- tirant 2y agoSame situation here. Everyone loves how much and how well our kids can speak despite being trilingual (we speak three languages at home), and how rich their vocabulary is compared to monolingual kids around us (studies show delayed language development in bilingual and trilingual kids) The difference is that their screen time is around 30 mins to 1 hour per week. While for other kids I observe easily that amounts to at least a couple of hours per day. Obviously parenting becomes easier with screens around. But being a parent is not about choosing the easiest path for yourself.
