Yes, it's dangerous! Since it takes away other types of sensorial experiences from young kids..it's only touch on a glass surface..
I've noticed with our young one, that he switches from one video to the next very quickly and seems to have hard time sticking to one video for too long.. as a lesser of two evils, tried putting on the TV and then turning it off after certain time (beaming the content via Chrome and controlling the timing that way)
Are their time rationing apps/systems for iOS devices? Setup timer for 30 minutes and then the device shuts off or locks? I see some paid options when searching online but don't know how well they work and if anyone here has experience with them?
That’s something I’ve considered too. Before- it was incompatible connectors, things that probably didn’t work without drivers, disk fail, keyboard clack....
Now most things always works, it’s smooth glass everywhere you never have to even slightly stomp on something. It’s all about getting them to inject content now.
It’s like we had to grow our own poppies and mash it up to get a little high, and kids get straight purified drip SuperHerion drip now. At least we learned some farming skills.
Just don't install YouTube or YouTube Kids. If you give them only educational apps, they will have only educational play on the tablet. We don't give kids a banquet with candy and cake on it every day and let them choose what to eat from there. We give them a selection of healthy foods and allow them to choose from that selection. Curate.
