Do you allow your child to use gadget?

My children love using ipad to watch videos and play lingokids. Am I harming them by letting them do that? Will the SPF webinar of digital technology address this ?

Honestly, I think most of us are somewhere in the middle on this, it really depends on the age and how long they're on it each day. From what I've heard, the general guideline paediatricians follow is no screens at all for under twos, then keeping it to around two hours maximum after that, so if your kids are older and it's within that range, you're probably not doing too badly. The concern people usually raise is less about the content (Lingokids is actually quite purposeful) and more about attention span over time, there's quite a bit of evidence linking heavy screen use to concentration issues in young children, and some parents I know noticed their kids getting harder to manage once the iPad became a daily habit. That said, I'd say the SPF webinar is worth attending because digital literacy is a real conversation now, though I'm not sure it goes deep into the developmental health angle specifically, you may want to complement it with a chat with your child's paediatrician for more tailored advice. Weighing it all up, structured, time-limited use with intentional content seems to be the middle ground most families find workable.
