Do you give your less then three year old your phone for entertainment?

Question

Answer

Normally when we’re out and it’s past her nap time, and she’s getting irritable and I need to focus on my task I’ll let her watch PBS Kids or let her play an alphabet game. Other than that, she doesn’t get my phone.

Answer

I've given him an old phone to play with on occasion. I only do it when we are going out late for some reason (which is very rare) and I don't need him falling asleep in the car. If he falls asleep in the car after 5, he's rough to get to bed before 10.

Answer

The only time my daughter gets to watch my phone is if we’re FaceTiming with someone

Answer

If I was not equipped with a game or snacks for whatever circumstance and she’s not taking to my entertainment, I have a tablet with learning games on them that she plays with. The games are awesome! Like tracing the alphabet, matching shapes, learning colors.. fun stuff!

Answer

Absolutely not. Our iPhones aren't toys and there's absolutely no need for my toddler to ever have it. It's insane to me that this is the norm now as opposed to teaching children patience and promoting imaginative play and reading books 🙄 we traveled cross-country with our toddler back in September when she was 15 months old (52 hours total, 3,000+ miles over 7 days) and not once was she handed an iPhone or tablet. So many generations survived before us without devices, but for some reason nowadays parents just can't figure it out.

Answer

If holding my phone, and waving it up and down while trying to press the button, counts as playing with a phone then yes.

Answer

Yes but not for the type of entertainment as people would think. He doesn’t watch videos but for some odd reason he likes to carry my phone around.... even though it’s locked... I guess he finds it entertaining 🤷🏼‍♀️ lol
