This is why we have a yoto player. Havent introduced screen to toddler except some dvds in evening as family and usually he plays while we watch.
I think the biggest problem is passive information, non-interactive, and non relatable information. So it is important what you pick for your kids to see. I only allow things that are highly relatable, something a kid is curious about, and deal with it daily and expand from there.
Oh my, I so needed this video! It came at just the right time, thank you. Did you see the new Lovevery books that came out a couple of days ago? One of them is about screen time! I ordered them, I'm so excited!!
Ohhh I didn’t know about the screen time Lovevery book! I’ll need to go order that myself!
If you have youngish kids definitely look into the yoto player he does a review on. Its basically screen free and my toddler loves it and it will have years of use.
Great video! I'm really curious to know if there has been any research on some of the finer nuances of screentime. For example, my husband and I really like having lofi/jazz/classical streams going on a TV as we work from home. So that's a screen that is on, with constant boring music at a low setting. What kind of impact might that have on a baby/toddler? I imagine it could in the long term cause some uncomfortable feelings with a quiet house?Another example is a stream of a video game or one of us playing a game while our daughter plays independently on the ground (with her Montessori style toys of course LOL). She'll look at the screen occasionally, but really doesn't seem to care otherwise. I guess I'm just curious especially about what counts in the "screentime" definition for these studies--I would imagine it varies widely from person to person if they're giving out surveys, for example. If a kid is being sat in their high chair in front of a TV, that gives me seriously creepy Clockwork Orange vibes (I know a mom who does that and it really grosses me out). But what about other instances where there's a screen in the room, but the kid isn't really engaged with it?
Great question! There have been several studies on this and typically referred as "background TV" or "secondhand screen time". If you're using the TV to play music and it's basically just a static image (which usually lofi, jazz, and classical have) then I would probably consider that less of actual screen time and more of just music playing in the background. Probably better to look into studies about different type of music on development, but I haven't read enough into that myself.
The other example of just having something streamed/playing on TV even though not being watched by the kid could potentially distract them leading to shorter play episodes and less focused play. This can be particularly impactful for younger children who are in critical stages of attention and cognitive development.
Most studies hint that background TV usually reduces parent-child interaction similar to if we were just scrolling through our phones with them playing next to us. If we're off the phone or not watching TV then chances are we could have more interaction and be more responsive to them. My children are more drawn to the TV, so we usually play it safe and the only time we have the TV turned on in the background is if there's news we don't want to miss (usually critical weather updates like hurricanes or storms.) I've seen how disruptive screens can be for them especially during meal times whenever we go to a restaurant that has TVs both of them are usually glued to it instead of eating their meal.
Of course like all screen time studies it's a field that's constantly evolving and more research is needed to fully understand true long-term implications on child development. They just haven't been around long enough.
i think the problem would be more so to do with constant noise, the montessori baby book writes about allowing babies to have a quiet non stimulating environment and playing music at certain times rather than long periods as background noise
ipad...good and bad....lol
great advice!
Lol yeah pretty much like everything in life! Always a good and a bad.
