    Excessive screen time at 3 is bad, and we do have evidence. Computers from the 80s we grew up with have nothing in common with today's highly advanced skinner boxes. It has been so since the age of TV, but today's tech is worse. They fuck up cognitive and social development really bad. Using screens from time to time is fine, but having a tablet in your face every waking minute hurts even adults.

    I follow the idea that phones/tablets are an individual experience, while tv is a social experience (assuming everyone is in the same room) so my kid has minimal tablet time, except on really long car trips. But has perhaps more than I would like tv time. But we are in there as a family. It’s very difficult in todays world with so much individual experience coming from a device.

    Nah a lot of people now think screen time is bad without evidence. Never would be allowed to get on a computer at 3-4.

    You had your own computer before you could read...?
