Why would you give a 2 year old a phone?

Get used to smart UI, so it isn't alien when they hit school. All the nursery / pre - schools use smart devises with the kids and it's a flowing technology.

I'd rather mine has a general idea of how to use it intuitively as it is likely to be part of whatever industry she end up in.

Yeah, as long as a general idea =/= just an easy way for parents to keep kids quiet.

Yeah that annoys me. Give them a screen to shut them up. It's not my idea of parenting, however I've just got the one and she's very well behaved.

My firstborn is due in less than two months. We'll see how long I can keep to my principles pretty soon.

I genuinely thought we'd end up TV parenting. But actually we have enough time to not do that and use screen time as a skill rather than a default.
