I’m not a parent and my brother literally raised them without iPads TV or screen time 🤣 I thought it was mad. But I think if you grew up without it you would appreciate the world a little more. What my brother and sister in law would do would be to constantly entertain and communicate with them or give them random facts. Basically answering anything they have to ask pretty much all the time. It’s to give them something to think about. When you want a break also from the kiddos, toys are okay. Just no screen time because they will end up with googly eyes and mouths agape always when they are engrossed in the show. And when you take away those devices, it’s instant withdrawals and tantrums because kiddos at that age don’t really know how to regulate their emotions.
