hi... my kid learns a lot from youtube... he can dance, follow instruction and even repeat phrases. does that still count as "bad" screen time?

My kid just 3 years old, already know how to skip ad and search for cartoon. Can meh?? Like too smart for his own good sia.

How to cut down when they already so addicted ah? What kind of play can make them interested? I always feel so overwhelmed.

*cut down screen time

is taking selfie (taking pics in general... my son likes to use camera on my phone) considered screen time???

What type of play is good for helping kids manage their emotions? Honestly not sure where to start.

Are video calls with grandparents considered screen time too, bcs we do it everyday

Weekend we let our son 3,5 yo use iPad more so we can rest a bit... is that ok
