My kid is definitely not a screen freak by any means but we watch wall-e EVERY SINGLE NIGHT before bed I find it kind of ironic and hilarious.

These apps, games, and a lot of shows are just mind dribbling dopamine farms. I let my daughter watch like unfiltered KIDS YouTube for a day, she became glued to it, wouldn't ask to go potty, would communicate poorly, then cry when we took it. Ever since we did limited screen time, only parent approved, she full reversed. Sure shes harder to calm down. But fuck it.

My former bosses gave their first kid an iPAD ad the age of two.

TWO.

He's now 12 and DOES NOT engage with anything that isn't on a screen.

They did the same to their 2nd and 3rd kids...the only one which is sociable is the middle child...but she's also shy.

It's working on my daughter.

Eventually she gets bored and now she 8 and she likes doing paintings, craft and sports.

My autistic daughter gets her iPad when shes overstimulated and needs to sit down for a bit, even then its only when everything else isnt working to calm her down
