Is it ok for a child to have two screens at once?

Question

Is it ok or healthy for a child to have two screens on at once? Like a tv and a tablet? Ages 3-6. I know teens may have their own limits they can set.

Answer

I don't believe children so young should be attached to technology like that. To each their own though.

Answer

No, why do they need 2? You’re either watching TV or playing on a tablet... I’m 21 nearing 22 and if I’m on my phone my SO switches the TV off lol

Answer

You can’t be serious 🤦🏻‍♀️ give your child a book! Take them outside. Never give them tablets. That’s ridiculous.

Answer

No way! Get your kids to be playing outside or with toys instead of glued to a screen! 
I don’t believe in children that young to own a tablet or be watching tv all the time.  There isn’t a need

Answer

Sounds like multi tasking

Answer

You shouldn’t even have 2 screens at once when you’re an adult 🤷🏻‍♀️ well unless it’s like work related

Answer

Why does a child need a tv anyway? They can just watch it in the family/lounge room. I mean, up until I moved out I was perfectly happy watching the family tv 🤷‍♂️ I only eventually got a shitty second hand one when I was 16 to play Xbox on but even then, I used the shared tv until then. I think it depends what the second screen is, a tv or phone for a young kid? Nah. Maybe a gaming console and a tablet would seem more appropriate for younger kids.

Answer

I don’t plan on letting my child have access to technology like iPads/tv’s/phones until at least starting school. I didn’t get my first computer till I was 12. I read lots of books and played outside and I was fine with that because I didn’t know any different. I don’t think it’s healthy at all for them to be glued to a screen it’s proven to be damaging to the eyes and brain.

Answer

At that age, no. I don’t hunk it teaches them to use technology as a pacifier. One thing at a time, and limited time during this age range.

Answer

Hell no.
Say it with me ....... books good...... screentime bad.
Use it in moderation. But two at once?  Donwe just ignore research now about overstimulated brains being less likely to learn?
Ugh.  Parenting is tough, do your research so we give our kids the best potential future.
