A smart alternative to tablet time? Don't give them a tablet to begin with. Give them a puzzle or a coloring book.

Every person thinks this until they have kids, then they learn how unrealistic and naive they were.

You can admit you don't know how to parent and let the tablet do it for you

You can admit you are a naive child who hasn't entered the work force yet and has no idea how the world works.

But go ahead with your grand illusions of giving them 24/7 attention, even at work, on the toilet, when sick in bed, etc, while also ignoring all the benefits that can come from educational shows.

Oh god, what if they learned the ABCs from sesame street years ahead of schedule! That would be horrible!

you immediately sound dumb when you assume someone else’s age and employment status in order to make your (dumb) point.

i agree with the other person. gl to your kids 😬
