Reply to comment by Wagamaga in A new study suggests that too much screen time during infancy may lead to changes in brain activity, as well as problems with executive functioning — the ability to stay focused and control impulses, behaviors, and emotions — in elementary school. by Wagamaga

This is what happens when nobody has a village to help raise the child.

Friend of mine has a kid who can run from mom to grandma to grandpa to uncle all day, every day. I have nobody else around. My toddler loves to watch videos of people doing artisanal or technical things, like repairing machines, baking, painting, building, making music etc. We watch it together, I explain what they do.

And then she runs to her toys and wants to play what she saw, taking her cars apart and screwing them back together or she wants to bake muffins or draw with my help.

I rarely leave her to watch something alone, we talk about everything, her daddy does the same once he's home from work.

No fuss when screens are off or getting turned off.
