Quote from: Mourne Red on July 02, 2025, 02:48:11 PMHave a 4 year old and another due in 2 months. Tablet wise she would only get to use the iPad in the morning after breakfast for 20mins on weekends in the morning just while we get sorted for the day. (Or for 30 mins when I want peace to watch the football)
Then after that it's just like the wife and I's childhoods, get the old school classics on TV like Telebtubbies, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam etc then Bluey or whatever's on CBeebies.
Hasn't any access to internet or anything outside of the iPad and she's restricted to education gaames and YouTube kids on it. Even then that YouTube kids algorithm has thrown up some things that wouldn't say are suitable so I block those channels.
I'm sure going into primary school I'll get the "but so and so gets to do it" but sure I'll deal with being the bad guy then lol.. Phone wise we're 5 mins away from the school so she'll not get one until she's 11.
My ones didnt get a phone until they finished primary school. Didnt allow snapchat for a year or so after that too, and I'll be honest it was probably too soon. It's a curse of a thing.
