When Screens Become a Babysitter: My Thoughts on All-Day iPad Use

Recently, I noticed my girlfriend giving her 3-year-old an iPad for most of the day. At first, it seemed like a harmless way to keep her entertained, but as the hours passed, I started to feel uneasy. I remember growing up with blocks, books, and backyard adventures, and I can’t help but wonder what’s being lost when a screen takes the place of playtime and real-world discovery. It’s tough to balance modern convenience with what we know is best for our kids’ development. Has anyone else struggled with this? How do you set limits without causing meltdowns? Share your experiences below—I’d love to hear your thoughts! #ParentingJourney #ScreenTimeStruggles #ModernParenting #Parenting
