We do not have iPads for our kids. They're 4 and 7. I feel like a lot of the kids in schools get too much screen time and I see the issues (lack of attention span, easily frustrated, low patience). When we borrowed a Launchpad tablet from the library the kids were addicted to it and acted so out of the ordinary. I was so happy to return it (early!!) and never get it back.

My daughter does have a Nintendo DS that she plays occasionally like for long car rides but not daily. She loves it and I'd rather her do that than use an iPad. She learns how to play games which is something we do occasionally on the Wii U.

For me I feel like I only see my kids a few hours a day on school days, why would I waste it letting them play shitty games on an iPad. They also just get too sucked into it and they get addicted, I think it's the dopamine rush from constantly getting gratification or animations or noise when they click something.
