mobile phones

Nope, she's inquisitive and she asks for it but I'm a dead set no. If she throws a tantrum I try to distract her with something else .... It's difficult as they are going through that phase. But my little one doesn't really have any screen time even now so probably a little easier as she's not used to it. If you don't want him to have it then try hiding phone when he spots it (make it a game) and then distract him with something else. Like my little one loves music.... so we get her faves on Google nest and dance.

Yes mines the same, sees me on it so curious I think. I try not to let him hold too much as he’s locked my Phone once or twice 🙈

I think they are attracted to them and curious like any toy especially ones that seem off limits/less accessible but you just have to decide what your boundary is with this. We try not to use our phones around our girl or if we do we explain what we are doing. She doesn’t do tv/screens but we do FaceTime family back in Aus or sometimes one of us if the other isn’t going to be home for bedtime and use the camera/video. She likes FaceTime but we try to limit amount of time and don’t like her touching the phone so it’s in a stand. It is tough because she knows it exists and has the curiosity. If she got hold of it, I would remove it regardless of the fall out. Would replace the phone with connection with me or something else and try to remove it from the room if possible. Don’t fear the scream/cry, it’s how they learn. Offer comfort but hold the boundary.

Yes and I don't use it in front of her for that reason. I absolutely do not allow her to use it unless it's to look at videos or photographs of me & her together- and I only do that if necessary eg in a Dr's surgery or long car journey.
