Haha. Good thinking- until your partner responds differently to your hope/expectations and it further reinforces the sense of loneliness. It’s tricky.

Reply to Frequently using digital devices to soothe young children may backfire. The habit of using devices to manage difficult behavior strengthens over time as media demands strengthen as well. The more often devices are used, the less practice children - get to use other coping strategies by Wagamaga
Maybe it’s not the screens- maybe it’s their parenting style? Another take: Parents incapable of co-regulating with their children don’t help their children learn how to self-regulate. Or maybe it’s the screens.. or both, or a combination?
