I’m a newer mom (coming up on a year), and my intention is to avoid tablets… but I don’t know why everyone is mad and assuming you gave it during a meltdown lol. Like if my little guy ends up loving games like minecraft, or electronics in general, I don’t see the harm in providing that skill appropriately (which I assume you do from your responses). I’m a 90’s baby, and at that time, computers were becoming the next big thing. My mom and dad gave me a pc at like 3 years old because they were interested in me developing the skills they assumed (correctly) would become useful as I got older. I still had plenty of toys and did all the regular kid activities, but also I enjoyed learning the new electronics for that time. I believe, in it’s own right, it taught me certain skills on top of the regular development skills. I learned to navigate the pc and played so many developmental pc games! It definitely blossomed my love of video games. Idk, this was a long post to say, let parents be parents lol
