Screen time
Hi, I want to know how everyones 2 year old is doing with screen time? My 2 year old just started watching tv because I wouldnt let him before because the doc told me its not recommended to let babys up to age 2 get any screen time. Well now that I am pregnant and sometimes too tired to entertain him i’ve began letting him watch shows but now my son wants to watch tv all the time . the content that he likes to watch is mostly cars, trucks, balls those types of vids. He is already so talkative and says many words but im still worried that him watching alot of tv now will cause him to start speech delay.

We still aren’t doing too much screen time in general but in the past month we put on a show for 20 minutes for him so that we could eat in peace after my husband and I both had hard workdays. We also sometimes play YouTube videos where it’s a slideshow of pages in a book with a voiceover of someone reading the book. We usually only do it for books we own, we read to him a lot. So it’s basically like someone else reading to him a book that he already loves.

Is there a chance you could get help to take care of him? Screen time develops violent behaviors in kids so maybe going to the library or doing a different activity would be a better idea.
