Ipads For Toddlers, Yes Please

Kai chillin on his new potty with his ipad

I was a little torn about introducing the ipad to baby Kai but quickly got over it when he turned one. I had read that all screen time (tv, ipad, etc) should be restricted until babies are two and then really limited after that. Being married to a techy made me rethink what was best for Kai. As the world evolves to digital “everything” I want Kai to be familiar with ipads and computers. Kai was barely interested in the ipad apps I downloaded when he was one and only wanted to hit the big button to return to the home screen. These days, it’s a different story. Kai is 19 1/2 months and a huge ipad fan. Sometimes, he dances around to Old Mcdonald or the Itsy Bitsy Spider and other times he practices counting with the Montessori Learning apps. Recently, he was cruising on the potty with the ipad.

I can’t blame him, who doesn’t like to read while going potty?

Yes, please!

    Reading while on the throne/potty is like having eggs and ham for breakfast, peanut butter and jelly …. They “go” together, one “enhances” the other! LOL!
