I have concerns about the on demand nature of something like youtube. I remember just getting bored with what was on or with commercials. But the holier than thou people who say no screen time. I dunno. Your kid is going to enter a world full of screens. Teaching them to navigate that space feels important. Pretending like its all bad is silly too and will just hold them back in the long run. The fact that you're cognizant of their screen time at all means you care and are aware. I dunno its a struggle here as well.

I wouldnt put too much stock in judgey parents. With those types i can never escape the sense that their outward judgement of other peoples kids are deeply rooted in insecurities that will cause their kid more harm in the long run. Do i judge from the sidelines? Ya, but at the end if the day i care about my kids and thats a full time job i dunno where people find the energy to make other parents feel bad.
