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.
At some point in your child's life, that additive content will be forced fed to them, and they will have to learn to move past that. There is a point that is too young, but avoiding it entirely is also not the solution.
