Videos considered TV for toddler?

Question

We try to stay away from TV with my 20 month old as much as possible, but what she does love is watching videos I’ve taken on my phone of her, her brother, my husband and I or her grandparents.
She always gets very excited seeing and watching herself and the people she knows and always talks about what’s going on in the videos.
Would you classify this the same as watching tv or a show on a phone or iPad, or more involved?

Answer

Technically it's a screen and a video which is considered as TV but smaller version

Answer

I honestly think you are thinking too hard about it. As long as your baby isn't sitting in front of it for hours then 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Answer

Good question well i guess its still a screen so maybe is still classed as screen time?

Answer

That’s what we did , I hate TV myself and haven’t watched any for past 5 years and I definitely don’t want my daughter to watch TV at all. I have TV in my room (just a screen) we don’t have cable, I have smart tv/Roku TV and I only put baby cartoons/or just a baby music on YouTube for 45 min a day (15 in the morning/15 lunch time/ 15 in the afternoon) that way she don’t get used to. We have play room downstairs and there’s smart TV without a cable also so when she gets older (now she’s 5m2w) we can keep it going the way it is now just cartoons for 15 min at the time. I think phone/iPad screen is super small and her vision can get bad.

Answer

Pretty similar depending what she’s watching in the videos ... same for tv.. there is crap and there is educational programs
